I’m applying to MBB and unsure what to do about one internship. It was a real project with a temporary team that helped set up a new company location, but since the team has left and I never received a formal certificate, my only proof is my project report. Given how strict MBB background checks are, should I keep it on my resume or remove it to avoid any verification issues?

Hi!
I would definitely keep the internship on your resume. I would try not to worry about it as if for some reason it does get flagged you can explain the situation and also can send over the contact information from someone on the team itself. People come to MBB from all backgrounds and usually do not have an issue and can work with the firm if any problems arise. Also, you will not need to do a background check until you accept an offer so I wouldn't over focus on this.
Hope this helps!
