Consulting - Should I attend an MBA2 Company Presentation?

I will start by saying that I attended at least one of those presentations last year when I was an MBA1. That said, you have to keep in mind that those presentations are aimed toward students who are looking for a full time offer (MBA2, Evening Students, Dual degree third year students etc…).

I would recommend you to go only if one of the next claims is true in your case:

1. The company invited you, whether by sending an email to all MBA1s or a private email from the recruiter or one of the company's employees.
2. You have no idea what consulting is all about – since now is the time for you to decide whether you want to pursue a career in consulting or not, if you still don’t know what being a consultant means go to one of those presentations.
3. You really want to go :-)
   

However, I urge you to keep in mind that MBA2 have less face time with the companies than you will have two months from now. Therefore, I would recommend that if you decide to attend, act as an observer and do not take recruiters’ and consultants’ valuable time from MBA2.
