What’s the culture like at FTI Consulting?
PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

Stick with the post bar date! Bar prep takes a lot out of you and the pass rates for people working full time during isn’t that good. If you need money I would suggest the bar prep loan or working max 2 days, or going to savings/ family support. Good luck!
The main risk is going to be to your bar prep. It's about priorities. Starting hourly shouldn't cause any other issues that I can think of.
Stick with the post bar start date. Studying for the bar takes a lot out of you, as does starting a job at a firm, even if you had interned there. You risk stretching yourself too thin to make a great first impression at the firm and also do your best on the bar.
Fwiw, I saw partners force associates to work weekends (not just weekdays) just before the bar. And, yes, the firm had told them they would slow way down to allow them ample time to prepare for the bar. In many firms, recruiting/HR has little control over rainmakers, so you may find out that the hourly arrangement is more demanding than how it was initially presented.
I have the same concern and have found answers through this thread. Leaving my gratitude to the poster as well as the previous commenters. Thank you all!
Thank you everyone for the advice. Your points about the conflict between the effort required to study AND impress a new employer at the same time are compelling.
If I were you stick with the one after your bar. The bar will always be your top priority. Working simultaneously with hardcore bar prep will be detirimental to the quality of your review. Good luck!
