How different really is strategy consulting at MBB vs Accenture or a big 4? From what i can tell, it seems like a mostly similar recruitment pool and pay bands.

I ask because I’m doing strategy at Accenture but being recruited by McKinsey (EM level) - my guess is i could maybe make best case 25% higher (mostly via bonus) with maybe double the workload? Does that sound accurate?

You’re right work is large the same, client access seems a bit higher at McK but only at the SP / P level. I think you could be underestimating the pay increases and they’re compounding effect. EM base for outside hires is 180ish iirc

It’s hard to come in as an EM though, they get squeezed pretty hard at McK

It’s 175 per my last comment…

The pay is miles better. Switched from B4 for 2x comp.

Very open ended. B4 has a very very wide gap between tax, audit, advisory and consulting. For ex EY SM in audit makes 150k in HCOL while their C makes more in consulting in same city.

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.
