Mini Rant - On Campus Offer Delays

Heard from a junior today that one of the consulting firms is delaying their joining from August to January This is in line with what most other firms have done as well (MBB).

I saw the email as well, and the lack of any empathy was alarming. It literally said "We are delaying your joining from to Jan because of changes in training plan" and that we feel this is in your best interests.

I get that business would be tough, there are probably not as many cases right now, and hence they are doing this.

A) It is screwed up to break commitments for your joining date, just because you don't see as much demand around the period. These students are literally pumped about their first job, and to start off like this is just sad B) At least if you are doing the above, have the courtesy to explain the proper financial reason behind it

Overall, really sad to see what graduates this year are having to go through, it's just random.
