How have BCG/ McK not been affected in the same vein as S&/ Kearney/ RB given the current situation?

Everyone was affected.

In a tough market, clients will either pay the big bucks for their top priorities or will go with “cheap” resources for any other ask.

McK / BCG and Big 4 will continue to do well while T2 with an ambiguous value proposition will struggle the most.

I would say T2 with ex-B4 partners trying to sell implementation and operating models are the ones struggling the most 😂

McKinsey has a much more diversified client base and more private sector work. Also on the people side there is a higher tolerance for people on the beach rather knee jerk redundancy

First part wrong. Second one true

All M folks have no clue how affected we are

We are affected like everyone else but we handle it differently . Will not disclose but some practices are 20/30 percent down.

Few things happened some v low profile

Delayed / pushed hiring

Massive investment. Friends see staffing but dont know economics are much lower than b4

No more imports from outside

Very masked lay offs. Much more stronger enforcement of up or out vs grow or out. The % of lowly ranked / CO / conerncs last review was double digits and super high. These were asked or will be asked out over the year.

Everyone is affected

If other first had utilization like ours they would be slashing headcount like crazy. We will do it through cycle and over a longer period of time. People policy is much more stable and people are generally treated much better. This is the difference, nobody will debate that work has slowed across the region. We are also less dependent on public sector than any of the others, including BCG who already did a pseudo layoff

Is your version of “Distinctive” blue by any chance? 😂

Who said we are not affected? Business is definitely slower versus this time last year and more people got yellow ratings this cycle versus usual

I wish lmao. We get number ratings and you can tell if your number is good depending on what color it falls on in the matrix
