A good predicament to have

Hello all,

I am a Master in Finance working as a FP&A at a globally known automotive brand in the NYC area, I will be joining a consulting firm at the end of a my contract with this auto brand and more importantly after my masters studies conclude in May 2023. I recently signed a job offer with a consultant firm but was invited to interview with BlackRock for their full time analyst programme more specifically within Fixed Income (Municipals).

My question to everyone is, what would you do in my situation? For context: I have applied to a ton of places and am finally hearing back after months of wait, this consulting firm I signed for is on the lower side of the spectrum when compared to MBB or Tier 2 shops. I'm also pending an offer from Citi Bank for a MO role which I am not too keen on.

Personally, I really fancy the prospect of working for BlackRock as they essentially "own" the world haha and needless to say that the pay would be much higher. In which case how would I go about reneging the job offer I have already signed? I read through the contract and there is no repercussions to doubling back because I would not be taking any sign on bonus until my start date (Sept 2023).

Also, how should I approach this upcoming interview with BlackRock? What should I know specifically about FI in the municipal space that will most likely be a question?

Your feedback is very valuable, cheers everyone!

PS: Almost forgot to mention that I am a non-target, so just getting these opportunities are big for me.
