I am in a dilemma in deciding between boutique opportunity and waiting for MBB interviews.
I have received a corporate consulting offer with ok pay, amazing work life balance and high quality colleagues (Almost all MBB) but the title is not high from Country A
I am interviewing for final round at MBB in Country B (high compensation and low tax)-they have a hard time scheduling interviews because they are very busy (even after I told them I have offers)
I am interviewing for the first round at MBB in Country C (high tax, high cost of living, core global office)
I am interviewing for a fast growing boutique within a large org in Country C (final round)
The boutique in Country C is talking about visa processing right now and ask for my info but I haven't even finished the final around with them (which is coming soon)
Living environment: C>A>B
Post Tax Salary: B>A>C
Cost of Living: C>B>A
Company brand and probably? exit oppoutnities: C(MBB)>B>A>C(boutique-niche but hot function)
I personally wont mind doing MBB at B to save some money for ~1.5 years and then move to C to live as I prefer living at C.
Of course I can move to C and apply for MBB in Country C later but the Country C office is one of the most competitive in the world and I am not sure I can get an interview/get in and it costs at least a year.
How can I push back the boutique and make the process for MBB in Country B faster?

Thanks Ian! Breaking an offer is also an option, just doesn't feel right after they help process the visa (be it in the middle of the process or already get the visa) costly and time-consuming)
