*BCG = MCK - Bain

Fixed.

I only do life sciences and would honestly say we are the clear market leaders. Objectively is one of the practices where we hold the tightest relationship with all the major players. Doesn’t happen in many industries tho

100%. It’s one of our strongest areas.

My perception was that Mck is the market leader here.

Bain is strong in LS PE, but small presence in LS for general case work.

like

Bain is not a player in the life sciences. It's between the other two and a few T2/Boutiques like LEK, ZS etc.

Bain is a long way behind, we only have a couple of big accounts

Huge push in the space though, investing lots in partner hires and junior hires with relevant expertise

Yeah unlikely we have the same share as McKinsey given it is ~20% larger by global revenue.

Hey guys, I just found this group and I’m hoping for some guidance/advice! I’m hoping to get into one of the Big 4s or MBB and finally got a few referrals once joining FB. I am 29, have an MA in IOP, and 10 YEO. I have never worked for a non-Jewish company (despite trying pretty damn hard to get out) and I’m freaking out. I have no concept of normal professionalism, strategy for navigating the workplace and the real world in corporate USA,(cont. in comment)
