Second year MBA students at Yale SOM approach full-time recruiting from a variety of experiences and perspectives. Some students may receive and accept offers from their summer internships, while others choose to pursue full-time recruiting in the spring or summer closer to their desired start date (just in time hiring). Review the General FT Recruiting Timelines below to get a better sense of when recruiting typically happens in your industries of interest.

Some second year MBAs pursue industries and roles that exactly align with their summer internships, while other use their summer to build skills needed for pursuing a completely different path from their previous experiences.
