I recently started T2 consulting after M7 MBA. Over the past few weeks I’ve been reached out by a few MBB recruiters. Having been on FB a while, I feel like everyone would say I should definitely interview. But is it really worth it? I just started T2 so don’t want to burn a bridge just yet, and don’t hate my life (team is nice, good benefits, less egos to deal with, wlb is decent right now). Am I being dumb for telling them I’m not interested right now?

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
