Accept the offer. You need not join if you get into mck and want to join there. Even if you join KPMG you can quit to join McK. May hay while the sun shines. Your SC cycle will get reset to year 1 though if you join KPMG.

Just call up the recruiter and thank him/her for the offer, say you're thrilled (36% is great!) and tell them that it's a big decision and that you need a little more time to think it over. Next, you call the McKinsey recruiter, tell them you have an exploding offer on the table and need their help to expedite the process at McK (coz, let's face it McK >> K). Tell them your first choice is McK all else being equal and DO NOT say anything more (Who, How Much, etc). Good luck and let me know how it all goes!

Ask for an extension... otherwise, maybe one of our McK friends can give the percent of round 1 phone interviews that end up with an offer. Deloitte's is 5%-ish

Yes, same staff level. OK, that's what I've been leaning towards. I'll just feel like an asshole for ditching KPMG before I event start if it works out with McKinsey. I don't think I can get an offer extension any farther than Friday, but I can push out start date.

Seems like a lot of problems everyone would want -_-

How'd you land the McK interview? Are you post MBA.

LinkedIn recruiter reached out to me. They hired a firm looking to recruit in a specific focus area. Just undergrad.

Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
