Interview anyways. Ask this question if you get an offer.

It’s ok to do something like this once every 3-5 yrs, just don’t make a habit of jumping up the job ladder by changing companies every 6 months

like

No people jump every 2-3 now. It’s the most effective way to get a raise and now considered pretty typical.

Prepare

I’d take it. If you get an offer there’s a chance you’d burn a bridge at PWC,but with bcg on your resume i don’t see how it would matter

I've had a go at this role and saw some things that are not a fit..
Which is why i am branching out. You can still go for the interview, ask questions - see if it fits into what you're looking for. No harm done. At the end of the day, we are just employees. What you do is replaceable - look out for yourself 👌

Unless I misunderstood the comment, SM1 said that it was okay to leave right after joining (and burn a ton of bridges) every 3 to 5 years.

Of course switching jobs every 3 to 5 years is normal.

You can postpone your interview by 3 months, twice. That’s what I did. Then spend these money this on hardcore prep with a coach, and quality prep course.

What group in PWC?

Can you push it back? I had a recruiter reach out from McKinsey and she said I could take as long as I want to prepare and could schedule the interview whenever I wanted. I asked for a month to seriously get into the casing mindset.

I've heard of people getting offers a couple of months after starting at another firm. We have flexible start dates usually so you can push the start date out 3-15 months roughly.

I agree that pushing the interviews back a bit to prep for them may be worthwhile.

Check if you should expect to do a case during the interview. If so you need a lot of practice

As an interviewer, it’s very clear to me when somebody has or hasn’t prepared, especially when it comes to case interviews.
