I have an offer from McKinsey, Data Science Specialist/Associate. I am also interviewing for PWC, Manager FS Data & Analytics. Have had two rounds of interviews. I think the pay might be pretty similar? The PWC HR has been unresponsive and has not been willing to share the salary range.

I am new to the world of consulting. Should I do all the interview rounds of PWC since it is one level higher - Manager? Better career progression because I go in at a higher level.
any recommendations?

What is your mck salary

175K base, would pwc match that at manager?

I wouldn't go for a lower level if you want to stay in consulting. McK role sounds like a non client facing role, so even slower progression.

It's a client facing role

Come to McK imo, progression will be the same at worst and likely better.

Comp likely similar even with the level down

Go McK

Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
