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.

Any luck folks?
