Bain & Company Im in my second month at KPMG. Bain just reached out to me to interview from an application I submitted back in June. The resume Bain has doesn’t show I just started my new job. How should I approach the situation if I’d like to someday end up at Bain. Bain & Company

interview and leave for Bain if you get the offer

Lol I know right

Do the interviews. If it works out, then that's a future problem, but easy to solve...if it doesn't, you can stay at KPMG. No risk situation...

I really don’t think you have to hide that you’re at KPMG. Like no one at Bain is going to question why you’d leave KPMG for Bain; just make sure you’re clear that Bain was “always your top choice” or whatever so they see it as being out of loyalty and preference than lack of reliability.

You should for sure let them know you're at KPMG. Any consulting experience better than no consulting experience. Only a plus

like

Only leave for Bain if the title / and money is significant in the long run. If that’s not there, try to just keep the contact so you have someone to reach out to in the next level of your career

If op is ambitious then definitely go to Bain if not I think it is valid what I was saying -- namely 25% is not enough of an increase.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
