Deciding between OC&C Associate Consultant or Oliver Wyman Senior Consultant?

The base salaries offered are the same.

~ 2 YOE, want to be a career consultant to become a Partner, which firm offers the best pathway (i.e. growth, both personal and firm), benefits in the long-term and exit around EM level (to MBB). No particular interest in one sector yet.

My vote goes to OC&C - just feel they are the stronger boutique with more interesting strategy projects

likefunny

ow is stronger than oc&c in the US for sure. For the U.K., ow is only strong in financial services. OC&C’s projects are way more interesting in the U.K. with increasing clients that are well funded startups in the tech space.

I think Oliver Wyman have more of an established name in the market, if your end goal is to get a good exit opportunity

Wow feels like that’s quite a discrepancy in grades.

Also this may be tricky to confirm as there won’t be many who have worked for both. Do you have any specific things you’re looking at?

In my (albeit short, so far) experience I’d say that’s true but business is booming and actually the big need at the moment is managers and SCs who have a strong record already. Definitely will be rapid progression and seems a very open, well co-ordinated feedback process to achieve this.

I would also agree that it seems OC&C generally hire down with rapid advancement. As an experienced hire, you have around a 6 month “calibration” period where you are graded within the “ac” level. Then review cycles are every 6 months. It’s possible you may end up at the top end of AC, it’s possible you may not. What they appear to avoid well, however, is the classic SAC/C hiring cock up: ie, new joiner arrives and is thrown in too deep and is trying to solve problems, lead workstreams and get up to speed with how things are done, resulting in them falling over.

Outlook for the OC&C is great to be honest. Getting some very strong deal flow and great strategy work too. Growth is strong and pretty good culture.
