Since my non-MBB consulting internship after grad school ended in April I’ve been actively trying to network with MBB people as much as possible. It was very successful and I was encouraged to apply as an experienced candidate for an entry role by recruiters & consultants but not before fall. I had to accept a different consulting job in the meantime to receive income and being able to work but am willing to quit anytime in case I get an MBB offer. (cont.)

No you should put your current employment. People understand why you’d wanna switch as long as you have a decent reason, don’t leave gaps on your resume esp as a lot of hiring is paused right now

Is it recommendable to add this new consulting position to my resume when applying to MBB even though I will most likely not have anything to brag about after 1-2 months or apply with my old resume that was well received by everyone? Second option makes more sense to me but I don’t want to lie about my current employment status either.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
