As we move into August, I want to shine a spotlight on things you can do now to prepare for this career field. Maybe you’ve been active already, or are just starting to dive into this attractive and competitive industry. Whether you are doing (or did) an internship this summer, now is the time to get up to speed on preparation so you know what to expect.

Employers of note:
If I were you, I’d be paying attention to these firms. More than just the big MBB ones. Either they are coming to campus or hosting a virtual information session, they are Midd-friendly!
- Analysis Group
- Trinity Life Sciences
- Seurat Group
- ZS
- AlphaSights
- BCE
- IGS
- FTI
- OC&C
Last thing: be active on Handshake, surely more to come soon. Update your profile, save searches and don’t be afraid to reach out to employers, alums and your peers.
You probably know the ins and outs of networking, but here is a fresh reminder with good tips.
Cheers and enjoy the rest of summer! It’s not over yet.
