MBB vs Direct into industry?

What do you think is the best for a guy who is in his 20s to join? Firms like BCG/Mckinsey vs P&G/Mars ??

Is Mckinsey same level of prestigious as Mars inc?

I have been working at P&G for 3 years as business analyst. And i used to think that Mckinsey is the best brand name you can get out there for you resume in terms of prestigious. But recently my friend from Mars told me that his company is not worse in terms of prestigious as Mckinsey. Which made me double-think my view.

Personally to me Mckinsey was the most pretigious/elite company in the world. It's like HBS/GSB.
