Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

I couldn’t imagine it goes over well because of the resources recruiting takes, which will be reset, and they probably need a new hire now. I’d personally get with HR and explain (“just found out”, etc etc) to save any sort of opportunity later on

My bad just noticed this. What happened
