BCG Consultant in Toronto vs McKinsey Implementation Associate in New York. I like being generalist for BCG but the city for McKinsey. Just started interviewing with both. Any thoughts?

This. I’m not sure why you wanna “choose” something you haven’t had yet.

BCG. Implementation is a much narrower career path.

Uh I’m not being insistent... just sharing what I’ve observed. I don’t have a dog in this fight. Anyone can get staffed on anything given the right sponsorship.

Treat it as BCG Toronto vs McK New York. Being Ops or MI or M&S or generalist doesn’t really impact pay, promotion, or projects. Also, it’s not really a decision until you have offers 🙃

like

I’m aligned to ops but have done <30% of my work in Ops. Done lots of marketing & sales and growth strategy so... it’s also up to the individual.

like

Also MI here. Actually would love to be on a nice chill late stage implementation case but keep getting matched with strategy ones. Can confirm no one cares that much about the practice alignment with staffing

like

Implementation is typically a very good relative WLB, if that is a priority

like

I personally love implementation/ops work. You get to meet a lot of great people on the road and really work with the client

Curious if being in Implementation track vs. generalist track doesn’t impact projects, pay, or promotion, why do you guys even have these two tracks in the first place?

The idea is that ~50% of your projects will be implementation, and the rest can be whatever, but in reality this is very flexible. Also you would obviously have more implementation based resources, training, etc.

Would it be difficult to try to transition to working in government after a few years at Bain? Any thoughts?

McKinsey referral system glitch?

I got a referral from an EM over a month ago. He says my candidate status showed "turned down" immediately following the submission.
