A consulting summer internship can lead to a full-time offer, but conversion is not automatic for Master's interns.

Return decisions usually consider demonstrated performance, feedback, staffing and the firm's available hiring needs. The internship's recruiting track and office determine what outcome is possible.

Strong interns clarify expectations early, deliver reliably and respond to feedback during the project. A positive relationship alone is not a substitute for sustained performance.

Before accepting, ask whether the position is a pipeline to full-time hiring and how conversion decisions work for your cohort. The overview of consulting internships during a Master’s degree may help you identify the right questions to ask, and you should request feedback during the internship.

A friend got a return offer, but said she didn't know what mattered most until halfway through. I'd ask about expectations at the start.

Has anyone asked about conversion rates in an interview? Does that come across badly?
