I read on another thread that someone got rejected by HBS without interview and was then accepted to GSB in the same round. Does anyone else have some success stories like this to share with us HBS rejects?

Plenty of people get rejected by one and accepted by the other. Rarely will you see someone accepted to both so this phenomena you describe is quite common among HBS or GSB admits as many people apply to both.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I heard somewhere that over 50% of HBS interviewees get offers so the downselection to that level is still a steep cut. Also once you throw out the obviously unqualified apps, there’s still a good amount of decent apps. One admissions officer at my school (T15 UG school) said that most admissions officers could throw out their entire admitted class and take in the next best group of students and that you would not notice a difference in the quality of students.

Is it ok to tell your boss/job that you're looking to transition to product, and tell recruiters you're looking for roles in product before you've quit your other job? Or should I wait until I get an offer before telling anyone. I don't want to lose my job or disappoint my boss but product is where I want to end up and I'm working towards that.

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?
