So, I have been unable to find a straightforward answer to this question. Hope my fellow GMAT-clubbers can help.
When do I need to be in the country for 2nd year (full time) recruiting for the various positions?
I ask because I had wanted to do a semester abroad (fall of 2nd year). This means I would be out of the country through december of my 2nd year. What sorts of job/industry/company (regional, local, national, etc). Would be possible/impossible to get if I do this? what sorts of things would I miss out on, etc? Just trying to see how this would alter my 2nd year job search! (I am a 2010 graduate, so haven't started yet. This means I can't give info about my internship)
Also, if you`re looking to work abroad, you can build up potential networks in those countries. Some of the current students I`ve spoken to at international universities have said that some of the excahnge students who arrive on campus build up networks and connections whilst they are abroad, and some even get offers at a later date
