Since I got many very helpful responses before here I am begging for help again.
I am a business student ( doing a law degree at the same time) and will be finishing my bachelor this June. I know I want to go into management consulting at least for my first 2-5 years.
I was feeling really insecure during winter and basically just shoved my head under the pillow and ignored that I needed to make some grown up decisions. I anyways sent of an application to one London firm and I received an offer.
Now I need to decide, and fast, what I should do:
Options:
Do my Masters I could do my masters right away. I have an assured place and would also probably get into the CEMS MIM too. My fiance is Swedish and prefers for us to stay here in Sweden, at least long term, and this is only the second year that people are coming out with bachelors here. Before we had civilekonom which was a 4 year program so basically nobody knows what is going to happen long term, will people be doing just a bachelor or will the majority also have a masters. But, I dislike studying, have never liked it, I just knew that to get where I wanted I was going to have to do it and excel. Also about 40 percent of my classmates seem to be not doing the masters right away.
Move to London I have an offer at a strategy firm, it is a pretty good one but not Big 3. I have to decide till Friday 21. I know I would like the work, the offer is pretty good and so are the exit opportunities and I like London. The issues, my fiance would have to give up his job and we are worried that he might not find a great one in London. Money is not the issue, I will be the main breadwinner and it is my career that will come first but what if he does not feel happy?
Get a job in StockholmAs I said before, I am stupid. I buried my head in the sand and did not send out applications before and pretty much everyone already have their offers. I have now sent to Big 3 but I don't think I am going to get even an interview. I don't know if I want to apply to other firms since I believe that in 2 years my CV will be better and I should have a chance. But am I kidding myself? And are 2 years really worth it just to do tex Bain instead of AT Kearney or Accenture?
What on earth should I do? I just feel so confused.
