I went to Harvard undergrad and Booth MBA. I got a 730 on the Gmat.
I've been out of Booth for 3-4 years. I did not do any management consulting recruiting at Booth.
My industry is getting hit *very* hard by Corona (think aviation, travel, etc.). I do not work for a prestigious firm.
My question is this:
Is it still possible for me to get hired by a top management consulting firm, or did that door close when I didn't recruit at Booth? I would be fine with entering "as" an MBA (i.e. I would not require a higher salary or need some type of special status). From my brief research, there appears to be an 'experienced hire' pipeline, though I would not fit that. Logically, I would not think I am less able now to do anything than I was 3 years ago, but maybe the firms think differently.
Only trying to ascertain if this is a possibility. Thanks for any and all help.

I would say it depends.
Most people who get into consulting do it through the school they are in. There are two ways of getting into consulting after business school:
1. You get in as an experience hire a couple of years down the line - most likely as a subject matter expert
2. You hustle and you get in after a few months of doing whatever you got in after business school.

My guess is that everyone probably has frozen they’re hiring for the time being. There’s too much uncertainty even for management consulting firms though I’m sure they will be the last ones to go down 
Sorry about your company getting hit. I work in the travel industry and the ownership companies have seen 75 or 80% of the stock value evaporate within two weeks. It’s pretty insane.
