Ok here’s a weird question. Often, interviewers seem to want to know who else you’re interviewing with, particularly for the timelines and scheduling purposes.

Is it weird to say exactly who you’re interviewing with or could that cause issues? Like if I’m interviewing with Facebook, should i mention I’m also interviewing with McKinsey? Or just leave it as a nameless consulting firm?
