Q: Does the Consulting Club assist with understanding the recruitment timeline and process for consulting firms?
A: Yes, we provide guidance on the recruitment timeline and process, which can vary significantly between firms. While we offer insights and support throughout the recruiting season to help you stay on track, it’s essential that you take ownership of your preparation and stay proactive about meeting deadlines and requirements.

A: No, the club is specifically focused on supporting MBA students, as it is internally funded by the MBAA.
