A Bain recruiter reached out and screened me through to continue interviewing (waiting to get the date/time confirmed). The more I think about it, the more I don’t feel like jumping ship at this moment. How can I respectfully bow out without burning any bridges?

Just keep going with it. Worst case, it’s practice best case, you get an offer and change your mind.

Ok thanks!!

When did you find out you were continuing to the next interview after the recruiter phone screening? I had a recruiter phone screening today and was told she will share notes with her team and get back to me. Makes me a bit anxious as I was expecting an update at the end of the phone screening

You too!

Got an offer from a secondaries group in a PE firm in SF (<1B latest fund). Had 200 all-in comp in consulting (80%+ coming from base) and bumping up to 230 soon. PE firm is offering 120 base + 90 bonus for Associate position. Does this transition make sense if I ultimately want to become an investor / work in PE? Goal was traditional PE, but no luck there so far with interviews. Also not sure if offer $ is in typical ballpark of what you can expect in MM PE in SF?

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
I am not sure what is wrong...
When I apply with referral, my resume always pass screening and shared with managers. But then no response.
When I get feedback on my resume and experience, people always mention "impressive". I feel desperate...Being in less challenging role at Amazon makes everything worse.

Question on entering consulting. Worked for a non-profit for six years, entered healthcare tech last year as a CSM, and just got an offer from a life sciences consulting firm. My hope is to eventually get into more broad strategy consulting (MBB or big 4, have connections at both). Would working at a more boutique firm limit or help in the long run? I don’t want to be in life sciences forever but figured it could be a good launchpad into consulting. I’m 30 so not old, but also not young.
