Will I get blacklisted after dropping out of the company (Big4) after a month? I received another job offer at a different company (Another Big 4) that interests me much more. However, I wouldn't want to burn any bridges either, as there is another group/team within the company that I would want to work for.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to build a career within the ESG consulting and strategy space. I am in a career transition phase and have a tax consultancy background from a Big 4 for 5+ years. However, I believe I have gained some skills that are transferable to ace at ESG consulting as well. While I am still in the process of upskilling myself and gaining the required knowledge, could you help me with referring my CV or with some leads?
