I hear Accenture is going through tough times. Things are difficult at McKinsey as well. Losing talent everywhere. Recent graduates are not looking at McKinsey or Accenture as best careers. How long will this last?

The value prop just isn’t there. Sorry to say. - Ex-McK in Silicon Valley tech

McK doesn’t have much business. Mainly because of their incentives system. We keep saying our value prop is “proprietary data” but that really does not justify the price tag since 80% of that data is readily available online through LLMs

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
