Bain & Company I got an offer as a senior consultant in Deloitte S&O, and have interviews coming up with MBB in Jan. Deloitte may not allow me to delay responding, so I might have to accept or decline the Deloitte offer before I can finish my MBB interviews. Any suggestions on what to do? Does anyone have any experience trying to delay offer response dates and start dates at Deloitte? If so would love to DM or just hear your thoughts here. Advice from anyone welcome

Accept and start. If you get MBB offer, take it and leave. In that case, leave D off resume. You need to look out for yourself. You’re only a # to these firms.
Is it early January? If not email MBB recruiters ASAP and they’ll expedite to start of year. Otherwise accept Deloitte and then you can renege after.
Accept. Go for MBB interviews. If you get the job and want it then leave Delloite. Employment in the US can be terminated ‘at will’. Also possible to exclude a 1 month stint on your resume
Yea do what’s best for you. Deloitte will do what’s best for them.
What was the offer?
Happy to share more details in DM or quick phone call
Thanks all for the comments. What I heard from others in senior positions at Deloitte and MBB is that because of the small community nature of the business and frequent collaboration between Deloitte and MBB is that it’s a bad idea to accept the offer and then renege, because it will be remembered and possibly be harmful in the future since consulting is a small world.
Thoughts?
Hi Alix and McKinsey2, thanks for the further comments! That is so helpful. Would one or both of you be down for quick 10 minute 1x1 chats? Would love to ask a few questions if you have time.
If so and you don’t mind to please DM me with your contact info I would really appreciate it.
McKinsey2, did you end up listing Deloitte on your resume? And were you a senior consultant at D S&O?
Thanks so much! OP
Email the companies you would take offers from over your current offer and ask them to expedite the interview process. Just let them know when your current offer expires and they should be able to help.
When did you get your Deloitte offer and when did you interview?
That’s great to know. Was it also for a senior consultant role? Would you be willing to talk or send me a DM so I could ask a few more questions?
