What’s the chance that MBB could reneg offer (received offer a few months back for start date in January)? Also wanted to ask if under current economic condition, opportunities may be limited (regarding projects, travels, etc).

I wouldn’t worry about your offer - reneging opens Pandora’s box and all MBB now that.

Regarding opportunities though, YES, those are more limited in recessionary environments. You’ve skipped the last ~6 months of slower business though, which is helpful.

Basically, for at least the start of the year, you should expect more bench time, which means fewer learning opportunities.

And no one knows how long this will last. If it persists, promotions at the margin will get a bit harder.
