Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. Recently, I received an offer to join the Strategy& team in September. However, I'm also considering interviewing with McKinsey and BCG. When it comes to enhancing my resume, would you include the upcoming offer I have from Strategy& as work experience, or would you omit it? Something like “Strategy&: Incoming september 2023”.
I have 2 tailstocks and I don't know which one is heavier to pass the screening:
1- Firstly I think that for an MBB it is logical to receive offers from people who have work on a tier 2 and it can come to be seen as a positive point and maybe even speed up the selection process.
2- On the other hand, I think that it shows a lack of commitment to be applying to a company without having joined the other one in September.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,

Hi Ian, First of all, thank you for your answer, but I don't think I explained myself very well. In March and April of this year I started to apply to get into management consulting, however, both McKinsey, and BCG (my two main targets) were in a hiring freeze period and they told me to start the processes in September, meanwhile I received an offer from Strategy& to start in September and now the recruiting teams of McK and BCG have contacted me to start applying. That is my current situation and hence the question about whether it adds value to put on the CV that you already know the world of consulting and have received an offer in September. Thanks!

Hi Javier, this makes a LOT more sense! This is super promising. In this context, I would probably leave out S&. They are already interested in you and want you to interview. As such, S& just raises more questions/red flags than it provides. My view: leave it out :)
