Leave 2 weeks after you tell them. Now or in June. Totally up to you. As long as you work while you’re employed.

At will employment means you can stop showing up to work short of a employment contract. Guess your vacay starts now.

They hired me in large part because they expect bcg trained me in the associate program - I assume if I took the entire 2 years off that would be a problem, and I’m trying to understand where on the timeline leaving becomes ok

Mind sharing any details on how you recruited / city / why PE / comp. Starting in the associate program in a few months and curious about how to make this move

No, they had a case interview (some modeling, discussion with VP). I think the assumption is that waiting for deal experience means you’ll lose on talent. I also had some internship experience to discuss
