Hi,
I got an offer from a second tier consultance before i started the process with Mck&BCG. We talked to a partner in Mck few weeks ago & I got the impression that I have the chance to be invited for an interview.
In this situation, shall i accept the offer & go on with the process with MBB within 1-2 months (so resign from the second tier one in a short term) or decline the offer at all & wait for MBBs?
Have you signed with the 2nd tier yet? If not, what's the deadline? Ask to extend the deadline.
If they won't extend, that's a tough call - first try to qantify your "change" with MBB. If there's a 50% chance you get an interview with one of them, that's really rolling the dice.
Another important piece of information: Are you currently working? Is your cash flow fine?
delay start date tier 2 and interview with mbb
Hi,
agree with the other expert here.
Also, if you worry not only about whether you would get the MBB offer but also whether MBB truly is a better choice for you personally, I refer to the following discussion:

Best regards
I'm currently working, so cashflow is OK.
They want me to start in a month (max 6 weeks) if MBB will be, it will be in 8-10 weeks i assume. So it will be starting & switching in a month which is not the end of the world but i fear it might seem improper in the eyes of the MBBs, looking like surfing around the companies?
Hi,
I would recommend delaying the offer. Once you start - you'll have no time for interview prep
Best!
