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

Did the green weenie strike again or did you seek out the green weenie? Sorry to hear bud.
