What would you do if you had an offer in hand at a small boutique M&A/PE consulting firm but also in the early stages of interviewing with McKinsey and Bain. Accept the offer and leave “IF” I manage to secure an offer at Mck or Bain? I would like to join a PE shop after getting some DD experience and also start my own fund later down the line. I have a strat and Ops exp. at Big 4.

Take the job for experience and keep interviewing. MBB will open more PE doors than the boutique.

I’ve been doing ID for about 2 years now. Mostly slip and fall and WC work. Long-term, I want to move out of ID. I’m currently interviewing at a firm that does ID, but mostly does insurance coverage opinions. They also do some more complex ID, such as L&E.

With the ultimate goal of moving completely out of ID, would this be seen as a step up? I appreciate any and all feedback. TIA

Do you have model to share?
