McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

Just go with BCG or Bain
The similarities are larger than the differences at these firms. Putting one on ice to sustain an opportunity at another isn't worth it imho.
I think it's worth pinging your recruiter (email, text, whatever you've been communicating by so far) and saying you're close to the end of the process with Bain and BCG and are expecting an offer from one or both (if true). All 3 firms care deeply about losing talent to each other, you're allowed to play on that.
I just submitted so haven’t heard anything yet! Apologies, should have been clearer.

Only way to do it is by getting an offer from BCG or Bain. You can then maybe leverage that offer.
Thanks y’all for the input - I’m going to wait till results from my final rounds are out first. Enjoy your Thursdays!
You too, and good luck!
If you haven't gotten a response at all from McKinsey and don't have a referral/contact there, there isn't much you can do. If they had already responded positively to your application and were already starting to move you through the interview process, then you could ask them to expedite. Or if you had a contact there who thought you were good enough to refer you, they could let the recruiter know about your expedited timeline. But without those things, you're a complete unknown to them. (This applies to any company when you're in this situation, not just McKinsey.)
This is exactly my situation! I guess there’s nothing I can do here aside from waiting
