Consultant role at Bain or EY-P? Any reason why I would choose Parthenon or is Bain really the obvious choice?

Bain. And I say this as someone who works at EY-P

Bain, only reason against would be WLB

TSE and TRS I‘d say average 50h, some projects less some more. But yes, these two overall good wlb. But I‘d agree that unless this is extremely high up the priority list for OP I‘d clearly go with Bain

One might choose EYP, if you have both offers on the table, and it scores higher vs Bain. My recommended criteria:
- People & Culture: whom I trust more after interviews? Just a gut feel. All else being within close range, this is THE driver of your job and life satisfaction. This will also drive your network which drives your future opportunities.
- Industries & Topics & Project setup: personally I hate banking, and a cool corporate strategy 8 weeks project (my ideal topic and setup) would not overcome my distaste towards industry.
- Compensation.

Lol go Bain. The name in itself will open some doors. But you also need to look at the niche segment they work in and if that is something you would be interested in

Following. I'm in the same dilemma with Bain and Oliver Wyman.

Was contemplating a move to Bain, but, now not so sure! P1 could you please elaborate on why reputations eroded and why the path to partner is not so good

In reality, both are are sub-par

True. None will even come close to the TRUE power of this world - Deloitte

Bain if you want to exit in 2-3 years. Parthenon if you’re dead set on staying to partner and feel comfortable with the other signals on your resume and your networks (e.g. school). Happy to discuss if you want to DM - had to make a BCG vs EYP decision myself
