Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company Hi,I have recently received an offer for manager role with Strategy &. 1. Honest feedback on wlb at S&. Is it significantly worse than other consulting firms ? Are weekends generally free? 2. What is a general achievement % of bonus? 3. Progression opportunities for Indians ? (Asking since many reviews mention a clique) 4. In balance, wondering if it makes sense to move for higher TC vs potentially screwed up wlb. Please weigh in with your thoughts!Strategy& McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting

directly offered M is not easy. Congrats. 🎉 wlb might be tough though

As far as advancement for Indians is concerned, there are not a lot of success stories tbh. The firm is becoming diverse but the starting point was way behind, so lots to do still to make it inclusive

What practice are you joining? It depends on that too. Managers have it rough ngl in terms of WLB. 30% bonus should be doable without even being a top performer

Sure

I hope for your sake that you’re Lebanese (Re: career progression). WLB will be trash regardless though…sorry

Hmm.. so, per your feedback, i could be in a shock from a culture / wlb pov. My plan is to quietly about my work, do the hard grind for a couple of years and build some equity within the firm.

Indians generally have it rough.

WLB is easier if you know Arabic, at least for integration and building connects/ equity. Most/ all Lebanese folk will choose to talk in Arabic and that would ruin team dynamic to the core.

Progression wise, there’s just 1 Indian partner out of 50+. Most are stagnated at Principal Level and do not get promoted beyond that for 5-7 years even (happened to one).

Is it because they can’t sell work due to network? Isn’t selling the work is all that matters for promotion?

2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.
