I have a very fortunate choice to make between an MBA summer internship at McKinsey or BCG, both in Chicago. The decision is harder than I thought it would be. Does anyone have any advice?

I would try for Deloitte

OP probably didn’t get a Deloitte offer. They’re too selective

Which office has the best history of hiring out of their internship program? How many interns still work there? Who did you like better in interviews? You can’t go wrong with either on your resume.

Don’t think you can go wrong. Who would you rather grab a drink with of your interviewers

Damn I really thought this was gonna hit 😪

Who did you like better in interviews?

I got offers from both, also in Chicago, had a much better experience talking to BCG folks and ended up going with them. I think it's more a personal cultural fit than anything.

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
