Why BCG vs reTurning to McK?

Good question. 3 reasons: First, the 2 main sponsors (a Sr.P and P) left so I’d have to (like BCG) build a network from scratch. Second, Too many damn scandals - insider trading (both the fund and a partner I personally knew), opioids etc. Lastly, I suspect the work style (more academic vs pure story selling) would resonate more. I did get an offer to return early this year - declined because I just didn’t feel “comfortable” with it.

But why would you go from VP to principal isn’t it a step backwards?

That’s why I want to chat with a principal or partner - to clarify whether it makes sense. The leveling I should ideally solve for. Comp and career progression for experienced hires etc.

This only came about by me exploring a headhunt approach after being underpaid by my current company for the time I’ve been here . Would you hear them out or just leave?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
