Bain & Company Hi All. I am an Energy Engineer and 3 years of experience. I want to switch to a management consultancy because I think I would be a good fit for strategy consulting and want to move into ESG/Climate Financing. I would love to interview with your team if you’re looking to hire someone with this background (happy to share more via DMs).
The purpose of this post is to also ask for referrals so please let me know if I could reach out to you for that. TIA! McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group
A bit extreme, still relatable

Good jobs for introverts? So over consulting.

If you really want to hear from company 2 you might as well contact them and see if there's any update. Talk to the recruiter and say they would be your preferred choice, but you have another offer and you need to give them an answer. It's probably a bad idea to try to get company 1 to extend the deadline, that could make you look unprofessional and they'll rescind the offer.
I would definitely reach out to company 2 and follow up if nothing else. I don't know that I would tell them you have another offer though. I have seen that backfire.
