Do designers from McKinsey Digital get paid differently to generalist McKinsey consultants? I would imagine so right? Even if they’re at the same seniority level?

I am pretty sure the base is comparable for the same level but the bonus will be less and promotion is slower because designer is not subject to up or out.

You’ll find a range of answers on how they’re viewed. Personally, I subscribe to the idea that we’re all one Firm. Also the idea that everyone deserves respect for doing their job well. So not any differently than I view anyone else. Some people will claim they are looked down on, but I think that’s only by people who are looking for reasons to look down on other people to begin with

Hey McKs, how do generalists view the designers?
