Recently I accepted an offer for a consulting position. However, I was just invited for a interview for a government intern position and that is another organization I would love to work for definitely in the future. How do I decline without burning bridges or potentially asking for fall openings ?

Just tell them you are not available in the summer but open to the fall

I know a lot of consulting firms are offering start dates in the fall for new hires. Try to reach out to the firm for potential start date options and go from there.

Hi Guys,

After my HR round today, Hr called up and said that will move forward with the offer but approvals with higher management might take some time as there is a hiring freeze.
Do you think offer will be released? And how much time these approvals take ?

She mentioned at the end that they are definitely going to offer as all feedbacks are positive.
But it all depends on the approvals.

Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?
