How does an engagement manager role at, say, McKinsey compare with a manager/senior manager at big 4? In terms of job role/seniority, not firm prestige.

You’re getting arguably more leadership experience at Big 4 since you are in charge of massive teams with a lot of moving parts. For strategy work, it’s a smaller team and pretty defined timeline/scope.

Experience != impact. I could see how a B4 manager could have experience leading small strategy teams and big implementation teams whereas an MBB manager might not get that big team experience. (I assume the B4 manager is in the strategy practice, not risk advisory or something else.)

But impact really depends on the project set and client size. A non-CEO project at Walmart or Exxon vs CEO at Altria, for example. On average, the C suite projects seem more common for MBB, so impact is likely higher.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?
