Summer 2026 Consulting Internships
Summer 2026 consulting internship recruiting at MBB firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) and Big Four advisory practices follows a structured on-campus schedule, with applications typically due September–October 2025 for undergrads. Boutique firms and technology consulting companies recruit on later timelines through spring 2026. These 10-week programs pay $30–$50/hour and are designed as direct pipelines to full-time offers.
Application Tips
Case interview preparation is non-negotiable — practice 30+ cases before your first interview
Behavioral interviews matter as much as cases at most firms — prepare structured stories using the STAR method
Attend firm-hosted events and coffee chats — consulting recruiting is relationship-intensive
Consider boutique firms as stepping stones — they offer similar skill development with less competitive recruiting
