In a stunning twist to the 2025 consulting recruiting season, anonymous sources suggest that Boston Consulting Group (BCG) may be pulling back on undergraduate and Master’s hiring this summer - a first in the firm’s storied history. 

While McKinsey and Bain press forward with early July deadlines, BCG’s silence has sent shockwaves through campuses and career centers alike.

In this episode, MC COO Namaan Mian unpacks the implications of this potential hiring pause. What does it mean for the Class of 2026? How should aspiring consultants adjust their strategies? And could this signal a broader shift in the consulting landscape?

Whether you’re aiming for MBB or reassessing your target list, this is one episode you can’t afford to miss.

Plus: Namaan shares actionable tips to help you stay competitive - including how to leverage coaching programs like Management Consulted’s Black Belt to stand out in a tightening market.
