Yes - communicate politely. Go switch.
Can definitely rent so long as you never want to work at BCG again and are fine burning those bridges. Its definitely something that happens every recruiting cycle
Reneg**
lol what?
I'm usually not for reneging, but I can understand if in certain situations but reneging BCG for McK? Genuinely curious why you would do something like that, obviously it's gonna burn bridges at BCG but for what?
As far as I can tell, all the MBB will give you similar experiences as an entry-level hire. Your cases, responsibilities, and exposure are not going to be different enough for this to make a difference. Your exits will be the same as well, no employer is going to only look at a McK person and not a BCG person. Are you chasing after an incremental bump in prestige? Or is it something else, genuinely curious here, because I can't think of anything that would justify reneging one MBB for another, especially in the same city.
The general experience between both really are not very different.
However, one of them has no presence in a very particular industry that I am passionate about and have a strong background in. On the other hand, the other one is the main reference for that type of consulting in the world - opening a lot more opportunities than any other MBB.
Echoing above... of all the things to lose sleep over senior fall, this??
This is the equivalent of saying:
“STUCK WITH MORGAN STANLEY? GOT AN OFFER FROM GOLDMAN SACHS”
“STUCK WITH KKR? GOT AN OFFER FROM BLACKSTONE”
You’re a clown - whether you renege or not lmao.
