Bain & Company I got an offer from a boutique outside of my home country and they are ready to process visa. But I am interviewing with MBB and they only have final round interview slot early next month even after I tell them I have an offer at hand. What should I do? Theoretically I can sign with the boutique and then break it but I don’t want them get me into the visa process. Advice needed please.McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group

I don’t think there’s any downside of them processing visa for you. You can have multiple firms doing it at the same time if the visa you are taking about is H1B

Not in the states. But essentially you accept the offer and they spend time and money to sponsor your visa. Then you break it because of another offer…Just doesn’t sound good😬

Do what is best for you and your career. The visa cost is peanuts for the company. It must be either of middle East or Singapore right? Compare both the offers and make your choice. In my personal opinion, I think MBB is better than boutique firms. Once you have an MBB on your resume, you can get better offers at boutique firms.

Thanks…I do think it is possible to break it but just feel unethical 😧

From my experience, it takes at least a month to apply for your visa(to prepare all your documents etc)

I would take the boutique if I can’t get MBB, I like the work they do

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions.
