Hello all, I have an offer from Quantiphi and another famous travel company which is building a technical arm for themselves. Both the companies are offering same compensation. HRs are calling for offer acceptance. I am leaning towards Quantiphi as the culture is well known to me.
But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?
Hi ,I have been interviewed and selected in S&P Global .salary almost negotiated and waiting for the offer letter to release. But seems like they are not willing to release the offer because of my 90 np . They are asking to join by 60 days but initially I told them my NP is 90. Even I am ready to take the 60 days offer but now they are not releasing offer as they want assurance.Now they are not picking calls.seems like i will loose the offer. Is there anything can be done.

GS and McK on resume... humble flex... Really though, I don’t think anyone will doubt your abilities.
Congrats on getting into Mck though! I went to a target (think HYP) and no interview even. Did you get Mck offer straight out of undergrad or lateral in? Also I would say H/S/W are worth it, not just for credibility but also salary bump / future exit options.
Nope. Did a middle office role at GS. I networked with McK folks by attending conferences. Actively sought out the firm and followed up with consultants.
I was/am in a similar position. Went to a decent state school, but am applying to b-school not only for the added credibility but mainly for the life-experience. From the soft-skills built, to relationships, to travel, etc. it seems like the experience is impossible to replicate.
I’d also be losing similar salary (sponsored by McK) but for me money isn’t my top priority in life and barring any crazy set backs, I think I’ll always be financially stable.
Life experience > money
Haha. Senior Strategy Analyst is spot on
Is this what you’re stressing about on a Friday night / Saturday morning? Chill out. Can’t go wrong either way. You’re clearly a smart guy or gal who got into Goldman through a non target school and are now at McKinsey. Impressive. You don’t really need an MBA to prove anything to anyone if the firm doesn’t care and allows you to rise within the ranks.
OP, I went to a target and I’m still going for it because I want to have some fun, do something different, meet people, take a break, etc. The forgone salary is a lot, but I don’t think it makes a big difference in the grand scheme of things since I’ll have many more years to work and make money.
In your case I would do it for the break, after Goldman and McKinsey I’m sure it would be nice to take a 1-2 yr breather.
I’ve a few sponsored classmates from McKinsey who were not convinced about bschool, but once through it they were very happy they took the break.
Another factor to think about is how it opens up your post-McKinsey career. Don’t discount the support of a good alum network.
Whats your objective for an mba ? If its just prestige then honestly you have all you need from McK since most people go to bschool to join mck.
If it s a pivot then sure go for it but you might get that from McK as well...
I think the opportunity to take a break and go back to school is more valuable than the forgone salary! You’re going to work for the rest of your life but this is really one of the last opportunities to take an extended break
Employers are looking for digital literacies and applied skills, sometimes even holding those in higher esteem than an actual degree. What are you doing with your MBA?
