Starting soon at McK as an undergraduate hire, is it normal/inoffensive to state to my DLG that I’d be interested in pursuing relatively expeditious promotion timelines and am willing to do the work to achieve that goal? Or will it come off as arrogant/foolhardy (happy to hear from all MBB because I am guessing it might be similar)?McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group
Career advice needed.Thanks in advance. What would be a potential feasible path to make the transition from Big Four assurance role to MBB consulting role? I have 1 year experience in industry as FP&A and couple months as fund accountant before I graduated from school and went to Big four as IT auditor and could switch to core auditor ,cybersecurity or ECG advisory etc. I’ll get the CPA and CFA soon and have some basic coding skillsets. Considering to do MBA/graduate degree if necessary. McKinsey & Company PwC Deloitte
What is the real deal across MBB, Tier 2, Big4?

Some Elite Boutiques are > BBs. Example few people are choosing citi or credit suisse over Moelis/Lazard/Evercore. HH is not same level
Yes always (not an ibanker). No (see above answer for why).
There's a key difference here. Boutiques like Moelis, Evercore give you access to the same type of deals/transactions to work on and same exits to PE as GS/MS with probably a better cash bonus. Also they are better than Citi or Deutsche Bank probably in all aspects. Oliver Wyman & other T2s in consulting gives you slightly worse exits than MBB and probably similar work at the junior level so you get none of those advantages
Thanks CVS Health
Not a banker, but most of my friends when we were recruiting actively chose based on the team. GS TMT, MS M&A are touted based on elite exits, but in general most chose an EB like Moelis/ Evercore over generalist citi/CS/JPM teams
Interesting. See my reply above to AC1 - there are some parallels.
I also want to add that there are teams at McKinsey doing implementation or operations. However, firms like LEK remain to be pure strategy. If McK continues to grow in non strategy areas, pure strategy shops may be more attractive to recruit from for some firms.
D1. Can you give an example?
