Comparable offers at both Strategy& and McKinsey. I like the work I’d be sourced to at S& more than Mck, but am I crazy to turn down Mck?

Actually yes - when it comes to exit opps. If you prove yourself to be good at McK, I believe you’ll get staffed on any projects of your choice. Mck fish, thoughts?

Yes u r. Do not turn it down(Mck). The label and the brand and people will get u to places u probably havent dreamt about.

Yes right.. ex-Mckinsey sounds more interesting than ex-Strategy& on LinkedIn
I’d happily hire a ex-Mckinsey

funny

Yes. Don't turn down McK. I'm exiting and the alum network is just insane. You can jump to S& in an year or so (and at a higher level potentially) if you're unhappy at McK.

OP, yes. I got help from people on the expert track. I'm sure the converse is even more true

funny

What group for McK? Generalist?

funny

Hmm then it’s tricky. I guess it really depends on which expert track and what group within S&. It’s not crazy to turn down in this case

likefunny

Yes

funny

If you turn down mck you're going to regret it.

funny

Take McK

Anyone here’s opinions change if they knew it was for an Expert path position at Mck?

Unless you’re trying to get MBA sponsorship, not really. I would caution you that experts are a little second-citizen treated and overworked within the firm, but you can do a lot of the same work if you want as any generalist and exit oops are kind of all the same if you do

How does LinkedIn rank among the tech exit opps? Is it a step above or below Amazon? Compared to other FANG?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
