I applied to McKinsey about 2 months ago and hadn’t heard back. I just signed an offer with BCG and now the McKinsey recruiter reached out to me wanting to have a chat. Any advice on how to approach this? I had a Partner referral at McKinsey so don’t want to burn bridges!

Reneging on a signed offer is generally frowned upon. But there is nothing wrong with talking with the recruiter in case you don’t end up liking BCG.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
