Hey everyone! I’m currently at an MBB firm but have been unhappy for a while due to my project focus and location, which likely won’t change in the next 1–2 years. I’m considering applying to another MBB in my preferred city, also because I’ve had positive experiences with their culture during student events, and a close friend there encouraged me to apply since they’re hiring for the industries I am passionate about.
My main concern is confidentiality. I’m worried my current employer might find out, either if the new firm contacts them directly or through casual gossip between consultants who know each other. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any tips or insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
