Big 4 consultants that went to MBB, how has your experience been? Overall positive/negative? What are pros and cons? What are the big differences you’ve noticed?

Overall positive.

Pro: better comp, better perks, better exit ops, better colleagues, shorter engagement durations (in general), no util tracker

Cons: similar/worse hours, more stress, up-or-out

Biggest Difference: I don’t worry about the team I’m staffed with underperforming. Top performers at any firm will succeed but while 1 in 5 performers at another firm may be top box, you’ll likely find your entire case team can perform as well if not better than you at MBB.

McK Implementation is not tech implementation FYI. Poorly chosen title IMO. It’s more like “here’s the strategy you asked for. Want any help actually doing it? We have a team for that.”

Very helpful Q&A!!

For B4 - For teams with temp (contractor) seniors - I’ve noted that they are held to the same work quality standards of normal full time seniors, while not getting any of the senior trainings or perks that would go with that perm role (just some basic survivals trainings at best), nor the access to the perm positions once they prove they can do the job. Then heard they are viewed as little higher than outsource teams (i.e., the offshore teams only given non-judgmental work). What’s your opinion?

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?
