Friends who have done them more recently than I have/now work for MBB

Myself

Former colleagues or friends that work in HR. It’s usually a good sign if they ask you whether you want them to submit it to their employer.

Recruiter friends

1. Recruiter friends from a screening and grammar perspective.
2. Someone who is in the org for the job I’m applying for to give feedback on experience and tips on catering it to the role
3. Friend or mentor for general comments. They usually point out consulting lingo or things I’ve done that make no sense to the non-consulting world

How do I politely decline a job offer without burning a bridge?
Background: I’ve been overwhelmed in my current company/position. Found this position in another company but the position is to help to “build” the supply chain processes for the company. So while I think the company is alright and the people seem fine, I feel the “building” process will require more time and commitment I’m able to provide. I’ve voiced that during interviews and they all said “things would be fine”. MORE BELOW
