Can’t tell if joke. If not, McKinsey has more prestige, but that is not what you should be basing your choosing off of.
Both cream of the crop. Wanna do banking? GS. Wanna do consulting or something more holistic/not finance oriented? McKinsey
I know it's not one of the options you've listed, but I have a few good prestigious alternatives.
The Colorado Bridge in LA is known as Suicide Bridge and has a great reputation. Would be a very prestigious place for you to jump off of.
Alternately, the Golden Gate Bridge has a long history and is well known across the world. Would be another fantastic place for you to end it all.
I'm from California so that's all I can pitch in - if anyone else has good recommendations please jump in.

nice.
Great post, I would consider accepting both offers for now and reneging on one later so you can put [Ex-McKinsey] or [Ex-Goldman] in your LinkedIn title
reneg on both and put both in your title..?
