Hi there,

Congratulations on the offer. If you prefer the other company and have not signed the contract yet there is nothing wrong with applying to the other MBB.

If you have signed the contract…it’s up to you. Technically you still can, although it is not exactly correct with respect to the firm that made you the offer.

Best,

Francesco

Hello!

That situation, that seems huge to the person who is inside of it, it´s actually super common in this world, since people apply to multiple companies. 

If you really like that other one, I would for sure apply and reach out to recruiting super candidly explaining the situation. With an offer in hand of another MBB, I am certain they will expedite the process for you. 

They actually ask in the recruiting process whether they should accelerate the process if you have other interviews of offer deadlines. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

In reality, there's nothing to stop you. You can go ahead and submit, and *maybe* the process will be fast enough.

My view? What's the real point/gain.

1) Is it really worth going through all of that again?

2) Best case scenario you'll get stressed because of timelines not matching and then you'll have a really hard decision to make

3) It's a bit dishonest overall (if you end up signing with the original company before finishing these interviews).

If you want to try though, you absolutely can!

Hi there, 

Yes, you could fast track the application. It's worth trying.

If you don't manage to fast track it, then I'd start the job with the MBB that you already had the offer from. Then in the meantime you can interview with the other, and in case you get an offer from the second one as well, you could delay the starting date by 6 months for instance. Then you could switch later on with more consulting experience under your belt. 

Best,

Cristian

Hey there,

I agree with Ian and Francesco.

Of course, you can, and provided you get the offer, there is not much the firm can do to stop you. Maybe you have to pay some damages, which is likely not going to be enforced anyway. In my country, the employer can demand one month of salary if you break the contract I believe.

Morally it's a different topic altogether and you have to decide for yourself what you want to do.

All the best on your journey!

Cheers,

Florian
