@Bain, pay and prestige aren't everything. I based my decision on the people I'd be working with. If I was choosing b/w BCG and Deloitte, I would've chose Deloitte, which isn't a knock on BCG, I just liked the people I interacted with from Deloitte better.
FYI Mck operations practice is largest practice. Strategy engagements are common for new clients, but typically after years I figure out a strategy there is a lot of work in marketing and sales, operations, etc etc to achieve strategy. At the end of the day MBB charge more, so the main difference is their projects tend to be larger scale / impact per consultant, or more critical to get right. More of the seal team 6 vs. normal marines
The market decides. What is the order of bill rates? Weighted average. Total rev / total consulting staff including partners
It depends what type of consulting you are interested in. Most of MBB and OW, LEK, ATK are specialized in pure strategy. I know plenty of people who don't want to do strategy, preferring to be closer to the implementation since they get to see results. In fact, strategy consulting is only profitable during economic booms. However, since strategy is currently very profitable and "sexy", the strat shop overall tend to be "hire tier" right now
I already addressed this on another post. PWC, Accenture and ATK are tier 1 (known by the acronym PAA)...
@D3 why is strategy only profitable during economic booms, people don't make changes in declines? Name one person who said I choose to be a peoplesoft/ERP/database specialist rather than corporate strategy so you can be closer to implementation and make less money?
Yeah I totally understand picking a firm for the people, that's how I ended up at Bain. I just think that there is enough diversity in the MBB that MOST people can find a fit at one of them. I still stand by the statement that the vast people would take an MBB offer of given one.
^ campus recruiter in the houseeeeee
@D2 - nope just went to a top b school and know how it works
FYI the marines are part of the Navy and infantry isn't particular to any of the services, it's a role--marines and army both have it.
I know fellow consultants from many firms and they all have a mix of good talent and incompetent trainwrecks..."tiers" are just brand positioning. Don't believe they are indicator for or against quality of people, work etc.
It's not.
*"higher tier" sorry just woke up
Have to agree with DFW. 1) MBB (or at least Bain) has consistently been profitable with the exception of 08/09 (which was hard on everyone). 2) We do our fair share of PMO/Integration/Cost cutting if you really want to do ops work (most people don't). 3) do you really know people who turned down MBB for Deloitte? Be honest.
Wait @Mck1 please tell me the cultural similarities between McKinsey and Deloitte. To me (albeit only through recruiting and sell weekends) they couldn't be more different culturally. It's difficult for me to see how you like Deloitte and choose McKinsey.
DFW, what firm are you from?
Got BCG people are nerds. Heard that before.
^Got it
D3 is clueless
FYI, SEAL Team Six comes from the Navy, not the Marines. Rangers vice regular infantry is a more apt analogy.
Marines fall under the Department of the Navy but they are a separate service with both a separate autonomous chain of command and a separate budget. Rangers are glorified infantry that operate with higher standards, but the core mission they were designed for could be accomplished by infantry. That is a more apt analogy than SEAL Team Six vs. the Marines which are two wildly different groups with entirely different missions that are nothing like each other.
The analogy still works. Unless you mean that MBB and "big 5" are part of the same military branch?
