I find it supremely fake when folks from outside McK write on LinkedIn- “Engagement Manager or Associate Partner” instead of “Manager or Senior Manager”. Mostly observed among Deloitte folks (some EY as well) who find it aspirational to get McK title tagged to their current firm role. Nothing is more, nothing is less guys

I mean EY shafts us with the titles “Staff” and “Senior.”

I feel that. But when my PPMD shows the client staffing plans that say staff and senior the cat is somewhat out of the bag.

The EM title has been used in various companies and industry for years. McK doesn’t have sole rights to its use, but I do agree with your comment on the misleading use of LinkedIn job titles. People seem to do it based on recruiter guidance to expand job search results. I don’t think it is for social posturing by any means (at least not most).

Just let us have the titles okay? We don’t have the prestige 😢

OP, many organizations use the title “Engagement Manager” for roles managing client projects or accounts. Not sure why you seem to be implying only McK can use it.

Some organizations do use it but some don’t. Folks who don’t categorically re-title to signal McK. As I said it is mostly Deloitte who are folks who did not make the cut into MBB, yet year for those titles. They are senior manager and manager Which is perfectly fine.

Using titles that aren’t yours is stupid. Use what your company has. Industry doesn’t matter, every company has differences in titles and levels from their competitors.

I mean if it helps define what you do better there’s no harm.

For example Microsoft Product Managers are called Program Managers, but Program Managers are a completely different job outside of Microsoft, so the majority call themselves Product Managers instead.

EM is absolutely fine, it's the designation used on many proposals anyway. AP on the other hand is a bit of a stretch

EY in some places (like Canada) do have Associate Partners. It’s one step below full Partner.

This got me wondering; do other firms use the “Project Leader” title as we do? I always assumed it’s just us.

Yes - I had that title in one of my prior industry roles.
