Hi,
I just recently completed my bachelors and started as an intern at a Big 4 in the Consulting line. After roughly 2 months of internship (planned were 5), I received the possibility to convert my internship into a full-time Consultant role. As I am not sure yet whether I will be starting postgraduate studies in August 2026, I wanted to know whether, in case I would get a business school offer, it would be perceived very badly if I left the full-time role after only 6 months to pursue my postgraduate studies? I was also told that it would only make sense to convert into a full-time role if I could imagine staying for 1–2 years and not start my postgraduate studies right away in late 2026.
I would be very happy to get your opinion on how it would be perceived in case I left after approximately 6 months due to postgraduate studies.
My goal is to someday land a job at Tier 2 or Tier 1 consulting firms.
Thank you very much!
