How do US staffing models differ between the large implementation related work across MBB, Big 4, WITCH type firms?

I’m assuming this tilts to more offshore as you go across the spectrum? How much more?

(Disregard strategy staffing models please)

MBB typically don’t do large implementation. Even if they did implementation , it would be highly strategic POC which would be considered strategic investment. No client will pay MBB rates for run of the mill large scale implementation.

B4 , Accenture and WITCH have the same model. B4 likes to believe they have higher quality and bring “business “ point of view to the table. B4 is higher cost, but they still rely on offshore model.

In the end, it depends on relationships at client and cost.

Does MBB even do much large implementation work? I’ve heard McKinsey has been getting. I to it but I don’t even know about BB or whether McK has been particularly successful at breaking in.

What is witch?

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.
