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?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
