Hey LEK fishes or anyone that has any advice. I recently accepted a job offer for the boston office but over the past weekend, my circumstances have changed and I’d need to stay in NYC for family and would probably have to take back my acceptance. I know the nyc office doesn’t have any spots available but does anyone know if the recruiters can switch it after I’ve already accepted the boston office?

I interviewed for the SF office, got an offer, asked them if they could switch my offer for Boston and they sent me another offer for Boston within 30 min!
It might be a bit dependent on regional needs, but it shouldn’t hurt to ask.
