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.

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?

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

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?

Hi All,
I am working as an Automation Test Lead from 2 yrs. Before that was working as a mainframe dev and total of 9+ YOE.

Since, I am new to the field, I am assuming it would be difficult to transition without guidance. How is the blackbelt plus program by analytics vidhya? All suggestiins welcome on how to transition.

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.

Just wanted to know how EPAM Anywhere as a company is? What are the chances of someone going on a bench? Is it a good choice to select EPAM Anywhere at this stage of my career?

The question is, is graduation from law school, not minimum competency? With this line of reasoning we are saying that law schools do not produce competent future lawyers, so should we instead switch to a system of taking the bar without the three years of a measure that frankly bar associations have deemed not an adequate measure? Dash this comment aside if it is fallible, but there is something here that has been overlooked. Competence is not regurgitation and memorization.
