The dilemma arises here - I can either take up a job at a boutique or t3 for a while and switch over to BAZ, or (I've recently found out that I have a strong contact at BAZ) I can join another office of the firm. I got offered the job through the contact but I said I'd have to think about it.
The pros are very evident, but the cons for me are that I'll probably always have imposter syndrome, and it won't feel right to me to get the job this way. But then again who plays fair in the corp world, and I know this is probably a decent start for my career as well.
Just wanted to know your thoughts because I have to let the contact know ASAP.
Thanks!
Mods please mod fast thank you.
