Hi all, I’m an Asc at Mck and would like to stay in consulting, but am not sure my current firm is a good fit for me (performance issues not a factor, received a very good rating). Would anybody at BCG or Bain be willing to have a conversation and potentially provide a referral? Tia!

I think you'll find all firms are 90% the same if not more.

Why isn’t it a fit? And what is different at Bain/BCG that makes them a fit?

Primarily cultural / values driven, and certain leadership decisions. Good place, just not my people. I did not come from campus recruiting, and applied to mck first and bcg / Bain a month or two later. Felt much more kinship to folks at B and B. Received my mck offer, and it would’ve expired far before I could finish the process with the other two firms, so I took the “bird in hand” offer of McK. Who knows, maybe I’m wrong, but I’d like to give it another go before writing off this career.

DM me if NAMR

Will do, thanks!
