Hi everyone, I’m an ambitious student who is trying to get a first job at MBB in Western-Europe region. I already got accepted in a BCG business course (60 students selected out of 1200 applications) and done my first round of interviews. I want to apply for a Mckinsey business course as well. Now I’m wondering if I should add on my CV for the Mckinsey application that I did a BCG business course already? (Ps: I have some board experience at my university and an internship in banking on my CV)

On the one hand it shows I already got selected by one of their main competitors (who also uses strict selection procedure) for their second round interviews. On the other hand it is their competitor which might not work in my favour if I put that on my CV (they might not want to invest their time in me if I already did a BCG business course). I appreciate any feedback :)

Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
