At more senior levels (Principal, MD, Partner), I’m wondering if anyone has a perspective to compare EY vs Kearney regarding culture (collaboration vs back stabbing), career progression, compensation and prestige. Thanks

if you want the real real:

EY was a solid Big 4 accounting firm, not significantly different front Deloitte and Touche, KPMG, and Ernst and Young. Notable spike in M&A and Parthenon generally respected. Had an interesting initiative in Everest, which completely lacked all elements of stewardship and has materially and permanently destroyed the firm.

Kearney is one of the original management consulting companies with spikes in procurement and operations. Known for a collaborative culture and generally less douchey than other strategy firms. Has suffered from some douchey Partner hires over last seven years. Board has taken actions completely lacking in stewardship.

Overall, you’ll make more as a Partner with EY, especially if you reach more senior levels. Your exit opportunities at the Partner level will be slightly better coming from B4 due to name recognition and scale of projects.

Despite all the mantras about “strategy” and “original consulting shop,” Kearney is a SMB at the end of the day. This has a major impact on ability to fund growth and be truly competitive. Look at the growth rates of Bain, BCG, and many T2s which were established decades after Kearney and have grown significantly more with greater ability to deliver and better name recognition / prestige; I’d take this as a proxy for leadership. Also, I’m always suspicious when someone self promotes themselves as collegial or nicer.

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?
