Any insights on McKinsey Implementation? Less prestigious than strategy side? Similar advancement opps? Compensation?

not with McK-I but have asked and followed similar questions and here is what they say:
comp - same
prestige - get over it, your job is important
advancement - haven’t seen an answer on this actually

one person also mentioned that the employee backgrounds are v diverse and can result in long hours and lots of rework because expectations aren’t as clearly understood or communicated by everyone. to me this just sounds like typical implementation though.

It’s very expensive PMO.

lot of folks I’ve worked w are implementation and the rest of us who weren’t didn’t even notice. No such thing anymore at the firm as just the “strategy side,” they are on and can lead teams w those not on the implementation track

Most Mck teams are now comprised of colleagues from different parts of the org - integrative, digital, implementation, etc. As Mck1 said, one doesn’t even notice what part of the org one is from and impact creation is at the forefront.
So, keeping in mind comp, advancement opps, and “prestige”, i would recommend going for it.

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?
