Depends on who needs whom most! If your current engagement can’t do without you and you can slack off temporarily, do it. Also think about how much you need Accenture vs your chances of making it through BCG.

^Its really good to see a Principal‘s advise supporting an individual’s interests. I hope you practice the same for your team. I genuinely commend you for it- I have rarely had a supportive supervisor in my 5+ years in consulting, and definitely not since I’ve been a manager.

Same problem fam. Case interview coming up, no prep because project is miserable

M1- sorry to hear that. You should seek out leaders within your form who are supportive.

True that, I’ve made it my goal to focus on the people in my next role (team as well as supervisors), as opposed to the content and position.

thanks all! yeah i think it’s better to take a chance and be a little worthless for a while and make it up if things don’t work out

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
