---------------

Rumors are swirling as Boston Consulting Group remains unusually quiet about its 2026 summer recruiting plans. 

Unlike McKinsey and Bain, who announced their deadlines months ago, BCG has yet to name recruiting leads or open applications for undergrad and Master’s roles. 

In this episode, we unpack what this silence could mean, how the firm’s Bridge to Consulting program fits in, and what insiders are saying about shifting school strategies and limited experienced hiring. 

If you’re recruiting for consulting - or just watching the space - this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
