Hi Anonymous,
Yes, that's not unheard of and also the search profile of the firms is not 100% identical.
Do you have a specific question on that?

You never know in this world!
I know someone who had interviews at all top 10 strategy consultancies. They failed 9 interviews. Then they nailed the last one and got the job!
I know someone else who watched as everyone in our class got interviews. Weeks later, on the last batch, they got an interview invite with McKinsey. Nailed it and got the offer!
You never know.
