I’m applying to 2 MBB firms. While I received rejection from a firm recently, I’m still interviewing with another firm. I’ve spoken with a few people working there and they know that I’m applying for both firms.
I’m wondering how to answer the “are you applying to other firm” question during interview. Should I be honest (I applied twice, made it to the final round once and first round for the other one), or could I just say I’m still waiting for the update from the other firm? What would be the best communication plan? I don’t want to look bad by saying that I have been rejected already. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
