Bain folks, how much time do you typically have between cases? Understand it likely varies but on average are we talking 1-2 days or ~ 1 week?

Historically 0-1 days for me

In my first 8 years I had 3 days off between projects in total. (Growing like crazy). Since then it has fluctuated a bit more with the same market bounces you’ve probably seen. Right now we’re rushing from case to case.

Average is irrelevant - everything from 1 month to 12…

I feel like the big question here is: is there a new case starting on the same account after? If so, typically zero as people will roll from one case to the next. If not, I've experienced a week or two as normal. Has been longer at times when they need a very specific case set up for you (e.g when I was M needing an at-bat SM role)

Really varies. Usually not more than a week or two for junior folks (could be no break in between).

SM and higher depends on the practice you’re aligned to / what’s on the back burner / client side things. This is for large NA office past couple of years

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
