M is for McDonalds because I said so.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

But if you’re asking from a client’s perspective, definitely BCG 😊

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?
