Hi - I am at Kearney in the London office. I have been approached by BCG and McK folks to join the firm. Kearney is a great firm in terms of culture and WLB but not sure how green the grass is on another side. Can you guys throw some light on culture, compensation (fixed + bonus), WLB, learning/growth, brand, etc.?

What’s your current role at Kearney? What role have you been approached for at Mck/BCG?

I am manager and have been approached for the same role.

I am pretty sure MBB will pay you much higher - both base and bonuses. Besides faster growth potential and lower levels with the new Associate Partner designation at K.

like

from experience - MBB base and comp is comparable with tier 2 up until PM/PL/M then the bonus in MBB becomes much more relevant.

the real difference then becomes pressure, freedom and type of work.
in tier 2 if respected you get to do what you want as long as you bring in business and the amount that you have to reel in its much lower.. goes without saying that pay is much lower as well partner base tier 2 is ~300/400 and TC is 600, higest earning partner making 800/900 - in MBB average partner compesnation is 1.5 M, but you are doing a differnt job with different targets

Interested what the WLB is like at Kearney (I know this doesn’t answer your question!)

like

also depends if you want to stay in consulting for life or jump into industry or something else and the amount of pressure you want as well as the type of exit if any you seek

No brainer. Jump.

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?

I have to admit that I wasn't terribly impressed by the virtual Co-Lo for Digital. The exception to that, though, was David's insightful comment that leadership knows and expects that many of us are struggling to come back from the pandemic, and it's okay to ask for help and or take a leave. Digital culture, and how we are real and take care of each other, is just AMAZING. That speech alone made me so proud to be here and turned around a lot of my negative thoughts.
