Deferring potential MBB return offer due to health?

Hi there,

1. Yes, that is usually not an issue, especially since you have valid reasons.
2. Yes, it always helps to be as transparent as possible as early as possible.

Hope you get well soon!

Hi there,

First of all, I am sorry to hear about your health situation!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• Yes, especially given your extraordinary situation. Moreover, to my knowledge, return offers have quite a long duration. Still, I would advise you not to worry too much about things that might or might not happen in the future.
• As such, I would also advise you not to rush things. Wait until you actually receive the return offer to see whether you need to inform the recruiter about your situation at all or not.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

1. Yes, usually this is possible - MBB firms are quite flexible with regards to start date.

2. I'd wait until you secure a return offer - easier to negotiate dates, when you have the pull.

Meanwhile, wish you all the best and speedy recovery!

Regards, Andi

Hello,

In my opinion, you should wait until you get a return offer in the first place and then immediately raise this issue. 

If they're happy with your performance and then give you a return offer, they will try and find a way to accomodate you.

Hi there,

I think you should not worry about this too much. In my view you probably do not need to (and should not) contact HR. Wait for the return offer to come and only then tell them about your situation. MBB is generally quite flexible with these sorts of things, especially if they see you as a strong candidate.

Good luck in your internship!
