McKinsey & Company Can anyone speak to professional growth for knowledge team members at BCG/Mck. I understand what they do and differences between standard consultants, but I can’t get a grasp on the level hierarchy/ salary. Thanks! Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company

Knowledge colleagues are under appreciated, treated as second class citizens, lower pay even though they can be staffed on studies with integrative colleagues and be expected to produce at the same rate (and hours). I'm on the expert track, which doesn't get great treatment either, but I feel knowledge is unfortunately worse. I have immense respect for my knowledge colleagues and this situation is upsetting.

Appreciate the honesty - so much so that you would suggest avoiding? I’m a traditional consultant at D

I've done the role in the past. Depends on what you're solving for, and the team ofc. In general, WLB can be better than traditional consulting (when not staffed on a dedicated study) and you get access to some firm benefits (e.g. excellent health insurance cover). It's a stable but slow career path with very little 'up or out' pressure.

Having said that, I do agree with everything McK1 said above. You feel second class. If you want the prestige of being at MBB and are looking to build your career as a management consultant, I would avoid this role.

How useful is having worked with the PE practice (deal strategy, CDDs, etc.) of a consulting firm vs any other one when trying to break into PE? I understand it's probably better to come from such units but I wanted to understand in which ways it helps. Is it actually irreplaceable skills vs understanding of sector dynamics vs pure prestige?

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
