At Mckinsey if you’re recruited into a practice, it’s just the same as being recruited to an office (you’re in fact also hired into an office), except with one additional thing: once you’re in, the majority of your engagements will be focused on the practice you’re associated with. Typically people who are recruited into practices have relevant training or industry experience, eg MDs hired into the healthcare practice, engineers into the manufacturing practice etc. There are no differences in comp or progression between generalists and people affiliated with practices. Generalists tend to specialize with time at the Firm.

Most hired out of undergrad, MBA, Law, and lateral hires fro consulting companies are hired as generalists.

M4, That’s a good point. Definitely depends on the availability of engagements and other factors, and there is flexibility to explore as well. I’m also practice aligned and have done engagements all over the place, but proportionally I’ve done more from my practice.

Don't know if there is such thing in BCG. You might be in expert track hench in a specific PA but you are always recruited for an office.

Hi All,

I got offer from Deloitte USI with 13.5 LPA Fixed. ( 50 % hike from my current CTC) and I have accepted the offer. YOE 5 . Later, I got another offer with 16 LPA from cognizant
I just tried to negotiate the Deloitte offer but Recruiter told me that this is a maximum hike(50 %)as per their budget and the offer cannot be modified once it is accepted.

Is it acceptable? I was thinking to join in Deloitte.
Please help me find the right decision (Deloitte USI or Cognizant)

Thanks!

Guys and girls. Feeling deflated AF. Just did the BCG Online Case in London and completely and utterly bombed it. It was challenging to begin with but not being able to clarify things with a person was especially hard. I was also using my personal laptop on which I don’t usually type so one answer had tons of typos. The video recommendation didn’t let me record a second time (I was expecting two tries) - I stopped in the middle of the first one! Emailed the recruiter a video later. I need cake.

As an experienced hire interviewing, what should you not share about your current experience? I think I have a pretty good common sense understanding of this (obviously don’t share clients and identifying client info, for example), but would interested to hear what others think as I don’t want to come across as unprofessional, but also need to give detailed answers to the PEI portion. I assume centering on personal impact on casework is fine, but want to make sure I’m not completely off. Thanks!
