Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

This seems deeply stupid… but maybe we don’t have full context?
Hind sight 20/20. But at the time that I was considering these offers, I was looking at the strength of the analytics practice of each org and for bcg it felt like it was a strong bet on internal products a space being disrupted by a bunch of other startups and Deloitte head a mix of product offerings and some strategic moves into data strategy and partnerships. I was excited about these and joined D to essentially have an impact on this future. But as much as tried to get into these I realized it was marketing fluff and no actual work is done here and the strategic shift from build and sell to sell and build essentially made the firm compete with other services firms who have been major players in this space(think Accenture, TCS, Wipro etc). These are the reasons why I left as well! But I still see the product is the focus in BCG and McK (though they are venturing into services ?) so curious how that experience is in comparison to whatever I had and if there is indeed area to growth and essentially build this practice to scale.
Why would you do that
Just to clarify, Reason for McK was their acquisition of Quantum Black !
Did you actually have the BCG offer or is this one of those instances where you were likely to/ about to get the BCG offer
Because seems like a pretty irrational decision to me
Bain2 any thoughts here ?
Sounds to me like OP is phishing for an MBB referral and using this “BCG offer” to entice someone to refer them.
I just can’t see how someone would make such a decision without anyone around them guiding them to do otherwise.
M1 any thoughts for the questions above ?
