I went for the people. Pay, prestige, type of work etc seemed pretty similar. But felt like the people and style at Bain was more fun and collaborative which I preferred. Have a few friends at other MBBs and think I made the right choice personally from their stories. But Bain just suited my personality more. All of them are great firms so don’t think you can go too wrong either way

Same, choosing for the people was definitely the right choice for me. It’s a hard job with long hours, I would rather do it with people I genuinely like.

The people were very similar, offices were all in the same city, so I just went with the most highly ranked and regarded. I’m cool with the decision.

It always comes down to the people and your personality. McKinsey people blew me away with how genuine and caring they were. I’ve experienced the same ten fold since being here.

This makes me excited to start next month. I was blown away by the recruitment/interview process and how much everyone wanted to help me succeed 😃

Went for Bain for the people. I had an offer from BCG (and never interviewed at McK). Sometimes I wonder how working at McK is as the #1

Same here. Had offer at all 3, chose BCG for the people :) 100% no regrets!

Hi! Wanted to get thoughts from those who have exited to a startup from MBB/T2. Have an offer from a series C start up — would take ~$20k base cut but with bonus (annually) would make about 25k more TC plus RSUs. Much better WLB and great people. Is the base cut normal? Thoughts?
