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

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

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
