For anyone considering taking a mck referral, try to get a BCG one first lol. Over the past year their benefits have improved and ours have gotten worse or stagnated despite additional challenges of operating in WFH. Don’t get me wrong, mck is still a good place to work and I enjoy it but I can’t deny the very clear difference in tangible perks.

+our base salary increases were cut in half, and bonuses by a third
+they have meal reimbursement during WFH
+their WFH equipment stipend was higher

We do not have meal reimbursement WFH. Very specific criteria has to be met

I think you meant maximum? And that went away last month. There is no cap beyond what your MDP sets. Full team budgets are back meaning you can have daily team events with budget. My team has daily lunch and learns with $50 caps, and twice a week dinners with $150 caps.

What do you mean by base salary increases were cut in half? Wouldn’t that mean that salary bands have come down and an EM today is making less than an EM last year?

MCK and BCG united at last by the nightmare that is WFH with zero part left for the H. But at least I have a peloton I look at while I work on my expensed second screen.

Heard you guys are getting salary bumps across the board soon tho so that helps. We might do it for incoming hires only

That is a rumor no one knows for sure

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
