Have a pending interview offer from McK, but 1 year away from being a Manager in PwC Advisory. Need objective views: Should I go for the McK interview, although I may risk getting a BA/ entry lv role?

Why dont you speculate a little more.

I think the point is that if OP makes manager at PwC and THEN interviews at mck, he could come in at a higher level instead of starting over as a BA

Yes - i shld have explicitly stated that. It's more of the pros and cons of being a manager at pwc advisory Vs a BA @McK

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
