Yesterday I got the call from McKinsey and BCG and both have accepted me for positions. P.S. Do you have any thoughts on McKinsey vs. BCG?

One issue that I would like your opinion on is to what extent humor can be a plus in an interview and where you would put the limit. I read in various sources that a touch of humor could help you in building a link with the interviewer, but in my opinion, it carries a lot of risk too. Some interviewers do this deliberately.
