McKinsey, Bain Rush to Hire College Interns Before Big Banks Do

McKinsey & Co. has pushed forward its recruitment timeline for next summer’s crop of college interns, the latest salvo in the war for talent among top consulting firms and Wall Street.

McKinsey will start searching for its 2027 class of summer business analysts this spring, rather than waiting until June as it has done in past years. It said the move will make it easier for college students to apply, as they’ll still be on campus.
