Bain & Company Anyone have tips/best practice for reneging an offer? Sadly I have to do this for one of the MBBs. Thinking I can just send an email to the recruiter, explain the situation, and apologize but wonder if anyone has either 1) done this before or 2) has anything in mind they think I’m missing. I can’t imagine they would be too upset (the firm will carry on just fine without me lol), but open to suggestions or feedback.

If you asked to be considered for early promotion and didn’t get it (despite being highly rated, exceeding billable goal, etc) would you look elsewhere? Is it right to be angry about it? I don’t want to spin myself up unnecessarily if it’s unjustified

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?
