Have 2 offers: Comp, location, and industry speciality (generalist for both) are the same or similar.

1. McKinsey BA (experienced)
2. Oliver Wyman SC

Normally would prefer McKinsey but going back to entry level is what worries me. What would you pick?

McKinsey offers a 3-year path to EM (manager) to its BAs. For you, that could potentially be 2-2.5 years. How long would it take to make EM at OW?

Should be 110 or 120k base iirc, not sure about bonus

Would the answer be the same if it was Bain/BCG entry level vs. OW SC?

Curious as well, especially BCG vs OW

What do you mean by experienced BA? Are they offering you a Senior BA or just a BA title. Senior BAs could push for Associate which = Senior Cons in a year

McK 2 - how long does it typically take for experienced BAs to be be promoted to EM?

Hi OP, just a quick question. What geography are you in? I was under the impression that if you are under 2 YOE you will be asked to start as a grad. Just to confirm you are at 1.5 years?

US, yes 1.5 YOE out of undergrad

Where are you working currently OP?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
