Thoughts on pivoting to MBB for a single year as an experienced hire, primarily for the resume boost? Unsure of how a short tenure might impact exit ops for someone who knows that they want out of consulting in the not too distant future.

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.

Very similar situation here and credentials (MD and MPH with 10years non-consulting experience). At the crossroads and would like to consider MBB and B4 opportunities, if anyone can kindly refer.

I am an MBA from Tier 2 institute currently working with a Big 4 in their Business Consulting line focusing on Financial Services. I have a pre MBA experience of 3 years in IT and post MBA experience of 3 years in Financial Consulting.

P.S: Immediate target is not MBB but to get into Management Consulting role

Qualification : B. Tech (CS) and MBA
YOE: 6

Is there any point in having an interview with a company you don't really want to work for?

Good practice for the interviews that matter or a waste of time?

For the sake of my mental health, I've been considering ending a friendship and would rather do so sooner than later. With Diwali being tomorrow, should I wait until after (my family celebrates it, but I don't know if she does)? There's never a good time to tell someone you need a break or don't want to be friends, so I'm not sure if I'm overthinking.
