No.
Seconding this, go straight to FAANG. Not worth a pit-stop at MBB

In all honesty we’re pretty agnostic on where you come from. S&O obviously has their preference but in the broader org we hire from literally everywhere. I came from a startup, a few of my peers came from Deloitte & slalom etc.

Don’t get me wrong, a name will definitely catch someone’s eye but yeah all things considered we lean towards practical experience very heavily.
Do you have a bcg offer and faang offer in hand? In that case, pick faang if that's what you are primarily interested in. If you have a bcg offer, but you haven't even started recruiting for faang, take bcg. Getting a faang job can easily take months, and isn't guaranteed. You have to learn a new interviewing style and get referrals, and attract recruiter attention. You can always quit bcg for faang later.
Having bcg on your resume helps. The process is meritocratic once you start interviewing, and source doesn't matter if you have specialized skills like software engineering, but if you're yet another consultant looking for an S&O role, brand helps the recruiter pick you for a call out of 200+ applications.
