Got offers for all 3 firms I interviewed with recently (big 4/top boutiques) but just can’t seem to get interviews for tier2/mbb.

Any advice on if it’s even possible to leverage the offers for an interview at a tier2/mbb?

They will not care. I have no idea how you would even approach this — “Other firms who do less prestigious work than you gave me offers so maybe you should?” The logic doesn’t work out here.

LOL very fair. I think I’m just curious to see if I can even do anything to help get interviews with the tier2/mbb before choosing an offer

Are you suggesting leveraging your offers with firms you didn’t get an interview with? That won’t work, but what you can do is leverage your current offers against one another to create the best possible starting position at one of those companies. From there, you can build your resume up and try to network for mbb if you’re still interested down the line. Good luck, and congrats on the offers!

Thanks D1!

That’s the plan if can I get any tier2/mbb leads in the coming week or two.

Take the best offer you have and reapply in a year?

Get a referral, you'll definitely get a phone screen

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated".

Please share if you know anything about it.

I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
