Anyone at Bain interested in discussing a referral? Just had my final round at BCG and don’t think i’ll get it. I have an offer at McKinsey but I don’t think i’ll accept after learning more about the culture. Bain & Company

Uh can I take your McK offer?

Please don't turn the McK offer down, even if you leave after a year or two, your exits will likely be different and so will your network. If necessary, you can always renege if you do end up interviewing with and getting an offer from Bain (of course, wouldn't recommend unless you connect really well with the people at Bain). But, I don't think there's a material difference in terms of WLB between the MBB's, Culture may still be a little different, but WLB would be similar across the board

What makes you think you won’t get the BCG offer? And turning down McKinsey, are you nuts!

lol there’s absolutely no difference between us and BCG, change my mind

Just curious what have you heard about the culture?

In terms of WLB, Bain is significantly better than McK (and BCG for that matter).

McKinsey 🐠, any intel on the Practice Manager role? I've had a phone screen and been invited to interview, but I know little about the role. Sounds mostly internal, but they can deploy PMs to projects if needed. How is pay and WLB? Is this kind of role suitable for people with top 10 MBAs and client facing consulting experience at a non-MBB firm?

Are there certain industries that lend themselves closer to pure strategy projects? For example, i’ve found in Fin services less strategy and more ops work due to nature of the industry whereas life sciences feels closer to pure strat given product launches, market entry work, etc… any thoughts on the MBB side?

This is a dumb question but I'm curious to know who makes the decision to invite EH applicants to interview? Is it HR eg for generalists or practice leads, in case of specialist applicants?

Would you lateral from B4 into McKinsey as EM or take an industry offer that is $50k more in TC (thank MCK offer) and better wlb?

I am thinking I would be able to get similar exit opps assuming I do not make it to AP. What would you do if you were in my situation? It’s a good place to be, but I am losing sleep over this. TIA
