Arguably Bain. After PEG, advising on tech strategy is known as one of our strongest sectors. Note that this is separate from digital work, which is not one of our strongest.

McK >> Bain >>>> BCG The only industry where McK doesn’t lead is PE (Bain) and Retail (BCG). People forget just how much bigger McK is than all other firms.

Bain or McK - Bain seems to dominate the SF tech market whereas we have a ton of more legacy tech clients elsewhere. BCG isn’t on most of the proposals that I’ve seen (it’s between us and Bain, occasionally BCG tries to undercut)

Bain.

And good job on the distinction between consulting for tech companies vs Digital. We don’t have the strongest Digital practice, which I’m personally fine with since those cases don’t interest me at all. We’re pretty solidly ahead in tech consulting. In hardware/semiconductors it’s not even close.

Yay bain

Rookie question - what’s the difference between tech consulting, digital and advising the tech industry?

Tech consulting usually refers to systems implementation like a large ERP or sales force. Digital strategy refers to advising all industries on their technology offerings and how to improve. Advising tech industry means advising tech companies on all aspects of their business

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE.
