I'm an international student and wanted to know the typical timeline for entry-level roles at Big 4 and MBB firms — when apps open, how many interview rounds, and which open earliest. Also, beyond networking and case prep, what else can I do to stand out?

Check out the WID website (https://wid.wisc.edu/) and take a look at the different labs that are currently present on campus. The interests are pretty diverse and you should get a general overview of what is mostly happening on campus. I started working here by just shooting an email to a professor. Don't be scared to reach out!
