Signed an offer last month, currently in the visa process. Recently got interviews for BCG (applied long time ago) and referrals offers for Bain and EYP. What should I do?

Offer is at a strong boutique, I loved the people but am more excited about the opportunities I have.

Take the job. Get the visa ASAP. Continue interviewing. If you get an offer at another spot, then evaluate... the reality is you may be happy at the boutique — do not jump if you like the people and enjoy the work.

There’s no need to tell them what you plan to do especially since you have an added caveat to your candidacy.

Only you can answer this question...On your own

If the offering employer is sponsoring your visa process, consider sticking with them. Check with other fish on IF and how BCG or Bain support you in the visa process. Many larger companies have the luxury of drawing from an excellent pool of candidates without an expensive immigration process.

They’re all supportive (not applying for a H1B visa)

This sort of thing happens all the time. Telling them you are leaving after a month or two will be a conversation I wouldn’t personally relish but at least you can do it on a video call and, when things get awkward, pretend you have internet issues.

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
