First year (ug level hire) and got email from apple recruiter. Would love to exit to FAANG but not sure I'm ready to leave BCG in my first year but maybe after 2-4. What is best practice?

What is the position at apple and is it something you’d like? I have 4 yoe of experience and got hit up by apple for a role and a 30% raise and didn’t go because the role wasn’t right for me. A good role that’s a good fit is more important than the name of the company. Especially this early in your career, don’t get pigeonholed in a focus area you have little interest in.

I also think your exits will be significantly better if you wait until post 1st promo. That will also give you time to figure out what you really want to do. Granted, If you find something you like before then, don’t let this advice feel like rules you need to follow

Leave! BCG nowadays accepts average candidates. Soon BCG experience in your CV will not be worth as much as it was years ago. The market will be flooded with a huge number of ex-MBBs desperately looking for exits

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
