Bain & Company I’m from Italy and will start my master’s degree at Oxbridge this fall. I got my undergrad from a target uni in continental Europe. I want to start my career in consulting, possibly MBB, in London. I know consulting firms tend to hire locally but I’d really like to work in London and that’s also one of the main reasons why I went for the Oxbridge degree. Anyone, who might have some tips, or went through a similar experience? McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

I knew a few who joined BCG as a consultant having been Manager at Big 4.
Benefits are: immediate compensation bump (base salary and bonus), longer term higher comp progression, more exposure to pure strategy, due diligence etc vs implementation work (assuming that’s a positive for you)
Main “complaints”: step back in responsibility - you go back to primarily being a “doer” vs a true manager for 1.5-2 years before promotion to PL where you will regain those responsibilities
Hours are generally longer as well
I’ve never worked at big 4/T2 so this is second hand feedback I’ve heard from others. Hope it helps your decision!
That sounds like a huge step back for not a lot of upside
No way
If M now, worth it. Not worth it if officially SM
What does EM mean in terms of YOE? EM at McK can mean 3-4 YOE which would mean you wouldn’t join as a higher than a C.
We had several issues with Experienced hires joining as an M or SM and failing.
Worth. Your progression will probably be faster long run than at T2, and also more upside potential at MBB (both at MBB and external).
