Hi, I am in a dilemma and looking forward to some advice. I am working for a product company and quite happy with current role. Though it's not FAANG but still product is well reputed in the market. Now, I have an offer from McKinsey for an internal Senior Product Manager role. I am really attracted to the McKinsey brand but also skeptical about the role being internal. Does anyone knows how fulfilling internal roles are in these big consulting firms. Culture, career progression ?

Personal thought - doing PM at McK is like doing S&O at FAANG. You are NOT core no matter how the role is packaged. You being a PM now knows this. I don’t think how attractive McK brand is to you. If I were you, I’d gain a couple more years exp at your current firm and aim for PM at FAANG. You probably will get a higher comps than going to McK and with a much better life. Also, just look at how many MBB consultants are desperately wanting to exit to tech and the best role they’d get is S&O. Just my 2 cents.
