Thinking about jumping ship. Is there a downside to applying to other consulting firms?Also with only 1 year experience is that a bad look / hard sell?

I’d go to industry at this point or a specialty boutique. I don’t agree with staying two years if you feel you’re not growing. Especially if this is your first job, you can jump now and basically start over vs. waiting 2 years where you may have a harder time doing that and or waste time staying an extra year to only go back to the beginning

Yes bad. Don't jump wait for 2 at minimum

You can leave early. I am leaving early, but I would strongly advise against going to another consultancy. Would be better to go to a vendor or corporate first

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

I got an offer from firm 1 before the memorial holiday and have been stalling because I am waiting for an offer from firm 2..
I was working with a partner from firm 2 who got me an interview with the managing partner.. I got a verbal offer last week.. the staff told me they are processing the paperwork.
Should I still wait for firm 2? I feel like I can’t stall anymore.. I feel like I really should give firm 1 a response this week 😮‍💨 but I don’t want to lose both offers

I have another one week to go to join EY GDS. But I haven't got tagged any counselor yet, and no onboarding procedure intimation. The HR with whome I used to talk during interview, is not picking up the call. What is happening? It feels like I didn't get the offer. Very bad.

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot. But then suddenly after the last interview, I haven’t heard in a week from them even after multiple follow ups. Recruiter said she will reach out on Monday, but even Tuesday passed now. Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?
