Have an offer from McKinsey. However, based on the start date I was given, I will have to forgo a substantial bonus at my current firm. Any chance that McKinsey will boost my signing bonus to account for this loss? Will they just ask me to push my start date? Or will they say take it or leave it? Offer is for BA level if that matters.

Just push out your start date. It will have no material impact in the long run.

They can adjust your start date... Just ask

OP, most direct answer is delaying start by 1mo will most likely just delay designation by 1mo.

BAs can get designated at any time. We don’t have fixed promo times at half year or quarter.

If it’s Deloitte just pay back by the signing bonus and get out - not worth staying

I was estimating lol and used very top end of bonus potential and potentially disregarded taxes on his salary increase for Mck but close enough LOL

How many months would you need to push start date? If 1-2 then def push it

1 month

I pushed my start date back a few weeks to get a bonus, it’s not a big deal. If you’re worried just talk to your hr contact about it, they basically told me “join by x date and you’ll be reviewed at EOY, if not you have to wait until next year”

You can push

BAs are in such demand. You can easily get a 1mo start date adjustment.

Welcome to the team soon!
