Hi there,

Please don't provide an exact date! This implies that you expect them to work around you which is not a good look - you need to indicate it's the other way around.

Let them come back with proposed dates/times. If you ever do lead an email with a proposal, make sure you give multiple dates AND flag that you are flexible to any days/times they have in mind.

I would personally wait for their response. If they don't get back to you in a week or two, then call.

Hi there, 

It is ok to provide some sort of overview of your availability (e.g. I cant do before xxxx, or Mondays afternoon doesn't work) as it is understood we also work and have other responsibilities. But at the same time you should express your interest in joining the firm and clearly mention your flexibility if needed (not giving just one slot) as agendas of partners and senior consulting staff that do interview are EXTREMELY packed and if it would be difficult you may loose your spot.

Hi there,

You can definitely contact the MBB firm that invited proactively. However, please be aware that they may not be able to accommodate a specific day. It would make sense to:

• Call instead of sending an email to align more quickly with HR
• Propose a range/few weeks that would work for you, instead of a specific day

Best,

I recommend you call them - out of courtesy, but also to see what their position and concern is and how likely and willing they are to accommodate you.

That’s much better than a long back-and-forth via email.

You can call them back - or send them an email - it doesn't really matter. But don't give them an EXACT date that would work for you. You should give them a few preferred options for you. 

You should show some flexibility in terms of scheduling - giving them a SINGLE option would show lack of interest in interviewing with them.
