Sources confirmed that the daughter of Bill Clinton, the former President, had been offered an "entry level" position as a business analyst but had not yet accepted the job.

Miss Clinton received similar job offers from McKinsey and Boston Group, another management consultancy firm, and appears to have negotiated a salary far above other graduates.

Company sources said: "To hear people talk in McKinsey, you would think Chelsea was arriving tomorrow. But what is certain is that she has been offered the job and has expressed great interest but has not yet formally accepted it."

Miss Clinton, who is 23 next week and will leave University College, Oxford, in the spring after completing a postgraduate course in international relations, wants to train as a business consultant specialising in the healthcare sector.

Her interest was fostered during a summer holiday job last year when she worked at the World Health Organisation in Geneva.
