Had an interview at another consulting company and saw my colleague passing on the hallway. That was about a year ago. I stayed and now the partner that interviewed me joined our firm. It’s a small world indeed. Anyone ever met a colleague while interviewing?

Worked with a client briefly at my first job.
A few years go by, happened to work with that person again and we were both at a different company
Eventually, he joined our firm and we worked together.
We changed job and ended up at the same company again.
He left again and almost recruited me (declined the offer after accepting it)

A lot of other similar stories too with other persons because it’s a small world, especially when we focus on a particular industry late into our career.

Figured out that a colleague and I were both interviewing for the same job back in industry. I got the job 🙂

However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
