I come from computer science engineering background. I have done software engineering prior to my MBA. I interned in product management technical role in AI/ML to space during summers. My eventual goal is to be in tech and in product roles. Should I pursue my MBB offer for a couple of years (San Francisco office) before switching to product, or straight away enter product role.

Do you currently have a PM offer? If not can you get one? Imo your exit opp from MBB would be Pm roles so if you get one why go to MBB? Is MBB offering money maybe? In the second case, where you’re not able to get a PM offer, sure join your MBB stay 2 years (after your 1st year start applying at top tech), leverage the brand value to get top tier PM offers

I do have a PM offer right now from my internship

If you go for learning then going to mbb would be a good path too!

My only concern is getting back to product roles

I think it will not make it harder whatsoever to get a product role (provided you already have some product experience)

At McK, you will not have product specific role and quite possible you’ll be nowhere near product management. The thing that you will learn is problem solving, and Ik many people who switched from Consulting to PM and since you already have PM experience, i dont think getting those interviews would be an issue for you. The issue however would be that you wouldn’t get senior roles that you might get from being a PM now. So, make pros and cons for both acc to your plans and see what best suits you
