Help me make a final decision between Mck and BCG. Are these points valid :
Mck Pros over BCG - One firm culture (big), global staffing (big) , better internal processes?, better brand, better exit opps
BCG Pros over Mck - Slightly higher pay (negligible), closer network.
Role equivalent at both : Junior associate for Mck and Senior associate for BCG. Both 1+ yrs below MBA equivalent level

Tilting from BCG to Mck. I want to travel / work with colleagues from around the world.

Advice?

I’m not sure that McKinsey has a better brand. It’s more well known to more people, but the people that matter know of both. McKinsey also has a knack for associating their brand with scandals.

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.
