Is it common for MBB and T2 firms to look through undergrad's social media(twitter, instagram, etc.) during the application process? I don't really have anything inappropriate, but I'd definitely make mine more presentable if so.

They hired a third party firm to do my social media background check when I joined McK. They only check what’s public so just make everything private before they run the screening.

I was asked by a partner at MBB why I followed McKinsey but not his firm (on LinkedIn). So yes. Maybe not always, or even often, but yes

Yikes

My interviewer directly asked for my IG username during the last few minutes of the interview session. Fortunately, it was private so he didn't look into it any further. I don't really know what he wants to see, honestly haha. Have heard interviewers do this at times to make sure we are who we say we are, but still think it's weird if they asked for it directly.

I always assume any company or firm I apply to is going to check my social activity. Keeps me on the up-and-up.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

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.
