I got a call from a Bain recruiter I’ve talked to a few weeks ago to apply for their AC class. I’m about a year and a half into the workforce now and have considered looking at BCG & McK as well as a few other boutiques (I had interviewed with one or two as an undergrad but didn’t receive an offer).

However, I just started a new job I do like (about 5 months in) after having a job for almost a year before leaving. Management consulting is the dream but would y’all move so soon?

I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)
