@BCG

Anyone know how flexible BCG is right now with start dates for experienced laterals? I’m interviewing for the May start date and the recruiter has said they are pretty fixed on this date for this recruiting cycle, but I would prefer to start in July. Are they usually amenable to changing the start date after I receive an offer?

I had a lot of flexibility with my start date. I pushed it out one month but had friends in the firm tell me they’d be okay with 2-3 months too

Not BCG, but every firm is starving for people right now. I cannot imagine they let you change the date.

They would want to deploy you YESTERDAY if they could, not 2 months after they hire you.

Yeah, maybe, I’ve just had a good amount of peers jump place to place and none were able to push more than a week or two.

Typically it was because they had a professional reason (I.e, wanted to give more time to onboard someone else, which firms understood)

I’m starting in May and had considerable flexibility—but I also had personal and professional reasons for adjusting, so be prepared to justify

Ok good to know. i would be asking with a reason related to my current job - my leaving creates some problems since my team is very shortstaffed and my replacements aren’t starting until July. Basically, I’d prefer to leave on good terms, and also potentially get a week or 2 vacation before starting
