Got offers from both BCG and McKinsey for Senior Associate/senior BA respectively.

McK for their Operations team and BCG generalist.

What factors should I consider when deciding between the two? Offers are pretty close (base, bonus, etc), what can help to differentiate the two offers? Any opinions?

Operations team meaning internal, or traditional partner track with ops focus?

Traditional partner track with ops focus

Hours & hour expectations

There are differences across practices. Generally speaking you can find better balance in Ops at McKinsey vs. generalist. For instance PE work can be a grind, but transformations can be easy.

You should decide what kind of work you want to do and what your long term goals are. Do you like operations?

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
