Accept FT 1 > Accept & Work FT 2 > Quit FT 2 Right Before FT 1 Start Date

Interned at a BB last summer > accepted their FT offer for the following summer > graduated in December > now working as a FT consultant at L.E.K. for the months leading up to my BB summer start date > plan to quit and start at the BB FT this summer.

Do I keep this interim L.E.K. FT consulting job on the down-low from the BB? Will it come up in my background check? Did I do something wrong here?

I really hope the BB doesn't care. Good for you man, go get some money out of these thieving corporations. Do you have to give any of the signing bonus back?
