Hey, sure I can send my old cover letter from when I applied.

PM me for details!

You are too young to stop growing and being challenged. Take the new, challenging role - and prepare yourself for a consulting interview anyway. If you get into Mck/BCG, great - but you can't put everything on hold on the hope that will work out.

If I had stopped growing when I first asked myself that question, I'd never have moved abroad, never gone onto BCG, and would make fifth of what I make now - and let me tell you, I have no intention of stopping to grow today or tomorrow or the year or decade after :)

Good luck, congrats on the new offer

Hey there,

Personally, I don't think LinkedIn is particularly important for Consulting applications.

To each firm you will apply with your CV and Cover Letter. This takes precedence over anything else for your experiences. Obviously, your LinkedIn should align with your CV in terms of experiences (or this would raise some red flags), but recruiters/CV screeners are unlikely to check it at all (just think about how many applicants they get).

LinkedIn because much more important later on, to network and connect with headhunters, who can help finding jobs in other industries after Consulting.

My recommendation would be to keep it short, professional, without being over the top. Your CV and experiences will speak for themselves.

Good luck!
