I recently accepted a T2 offer for a 70% salary increase and somewhere I’d be happy being. However I found out I have a R1 with McKinsey and I really don’t care that much about it surprisingly but obviously if I had the choice between the two I’d choose McKinsey for my future. Should I go through with it? I was happy to be done with casing and interviewing tbh and I also don’t feel super comfortable reneging if I had to.

Congratulations! Go through with it, if for nothing else just practice. Also, with an offer in hand, you can approach things with a bit more confidence and ease

Go through and yolo your McK interview. You won’t be nervous knowing you have another offer

Go through with the interview, but don’t stress about it.

I was in the exact same situation between BCG and S&. Ultimately, there is no way I’d give up my S& offer for simply a chance at BCG. And that drove my decision to ultimately drop out.

Yes. McK will have better brand and most likely better pay over the short, medium, and long term. Although IMO the move from T2 to MBB doesn't always make sense if you're well integrated and like your coworkers/projects, from an outside-in POV where you're at now I don't think you'd have the info needed to justify not taking it

One other exception is if McK gives you a lower title/level than the T2

The recruiter quoted $115k

Yes

Yes. Almost always defer 1-2 years in start date too if things work with McKinsey.. allows you to test the waters at the other place first and kick the bucket down the road a bit

Back in 2016 when I was applying, this was the case. I think they’re more than happy to retain good talent and high attrition rates mean they know they’ll have the spot to fill in 1-2 years time anyway

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
