Bain & Company Can you hold options purchased before you started, while working at mbb?
Saw a recent post about trading at mbb and learned you could hold stocks you purchased before you started through your employment (can’t sell while you’re there). Was wondering if the same holds for options contracts. Also wanted to check if you are allowed to freely trade leveraged ETFs? This is for McKinsey & Company in particular Boston Consulting Group (BCG) . Bain & Company

At BCG you can freely trade leveraged ETFs. Not sure about options but would assume it falls under the same rule as single name stocks.

Same for McK, only restrictions is buying/selling single name equities, holding is fine

There is a 3-month grace period when you join where you can sell (but not buy) individual stocks. Additionally, there is a process to sell individual stocks after the grace period if you need the liquidity (e.g., house purchase), but these must be approved

McK 🐟: Is it helpful if a Senior Partner from another part of the world puts in a referral (looking for role in the US)

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.
