Received a very strong offer from a boutique which expires at the end of the week. But also have BCG second round interviews coming up. Any advice on how to handle this?

Not really any downsides. Reneged myself..worked out alright. Not my proudest moment, but at some point you have to look out for yourself and your own career. Bet most the partners at both firms would have done the same thing in your position back in the day

BCG is not all that great. If you have a solid offer then take it.

Whats the boutique?

Take the offer, then put in your notice if you get the BCG job.

@c1 less than 500 people. Very small

Was in the same situation, told BCG and they rushed me thru interview process but didnt finish the other 2 candidates interviews yet, ended up taking boutique offer but tellig BCG that I would leave if they were to offer, thought my honesty would bode well, I was wrong

What botique c2? Do you have a burner

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

Student loans question: my sister has $100K in loans. She has $15-20K sitting in her bank account. The question that I’d like your guys’ input on is whether she should reduce her principal (and thereby total interest payments) by paying down debt lump sum ASAP or is she better off chipping away where certain months she adds on $500-$1000 to her fixed payment? She wants the flexibility of having a rainy day fund but also wants to payoff debt ASAP. Any guidance would be appreciated!
