Hi all. I currently have accepted an MBB FT role after undergrad. However, I will graduate this May, and the role does not start until next January. I have also received an internship offer from June to August that does not conflict time wise. I want to pursue this internship for a little bit of work experience prior to joining MBB, and also for financial reasons. 

Since I have committed to joining MBB, will taking this internship before starting full time cause any sort of conflicts? I've read the offer letter and there seems to be no provisions that prevent employment before the start date, but I wanted to ask here for any opinions.

Hi there,

Congratulations on the offer! In terms of your question:

Q: Since I have committed to joining MBB, will taking this internship before starting full time cause any sort of conflicts?

If there are no clauses related to this in your contract (not just in the offer letter) and there are no other possible conflicts, there should not be issues. Please also ensure that there are no non-compete clauses for the internship that might create issues for the full-time job.

Best,

Francesco
