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?

Go for McK and don’t look back.

Even if it were a new grad role I'd take McK. 1 year of tenure credit is nothing, esp in the grand scheme of your career.

like

Nope.

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?

like

1.5 years, in the context of your career is nothing. Hell, i was unemployed that long in the Great Recession. Just make sure you do everything to go “up” instead of “out”

How many yoe op? If it's same comp, I'd take mck - higher earning potential in the long run, better brand, etc. I've heard mck as a shorter path to EM. If you're sticking around long term it won't matter

I'm at OW. Go to McK. Better brand & salary.

What was the comp offer from McK at the exp BA level?

like

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?

like

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 hate to ask & sound greedy, but I relocated (at a pay cut) for this position & a bonus would really help going to my mortgage payments I’m still carrying for my old condo.
