I’m a Senior Analyst going up for promotion in December, expected base pay increase $82.5k -> $97k
Currently have an offer from McKinsey for a Business Analyst position. Base pay is $90k. I recognize the fact that McKinsey is a step-up but I’m potentially losing career progress

I’d appreciate some input and thoughts. Thank you!

The future career growth at McK >>> Accenture. Also raises and bonuses are much more likely to be higher at McK than A

You will be able to progress MUCH faster in your career at mck than literally anywhere else. Mck has fastest path to manager anywhere- you can do it in 3 years from analyst

If I join as senior analyst in McKinsey what would be the career growth and how much it would take to get promoted to manager?

This is not even a question, seriously

likefunny

7K is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. McK would add a lot more weight to your resume, you would likely learn more (if management is what you want, probably less useful if you want to be a tech person), and your comp trajectory will be massively different in the next 2-5 years.

In 5 years no one will say “oh damn they went from a senior analyst to an analyst role”, all they will see is McKinsey.

As somebody who also came from Accenture... take it.
Your bonus will make up for any immediate short fall, and your salary and career trajectory are much faster when you’re here too...
You will not ‘lose any career progress’.

Oh and Congrats!!

Another way of thinking, how many folks would spend $7k to join McK?

You are losing career progression - your salary is lower. Progress is about the opportunity and you’re focused on the $$$. McK is an excellent company that will give you the progression you’re likely looking for

If this is a genuine question, perhaps stay at Accenture.

If this is just a flex, then good job and congrats on the move!

Thanks to everyone. I know it seemed like a silly question and I legit didn’t want to ask haha. I guess I was wondering if I should try to negotiate for higher pay or a SA role at McKinsey but that seems trivial now

To answer some questions. I have 2 YOE and apparently, McKinsey did a recent round of diversity hiring so I got an interview with a referral - I was immediately told it would be for a BA role. MyConsultingOffer helped a lot with my 2 weeks prep (granted, I wasn’t new to cases and I’d previously gotten offers with most firms not named MBB)

like

How many YOE do you have OP? Also did you apply to an entry level position or experienced? I am applying with 4 YOE and I’m surprised the BA salary is that, I was expecting higher. Either way I completely agree with all comments above and recommend taking it

Interesting. I got an offer from McKinsey with similar YOE to you and they gave me much more. Did you do consulting work at Accenture or something else?

Hi mind sharing your YOE and how much they are giving you?

like

7k is nothing , think of Mck on your resume , its waaaay more than 7k, you are seeing the short sight. Btw congrats on the promo

Not even a question, McK opportunities will likely far outweigh other options

Hands down just take McKinsey

Take it! tbh, I don’t think you’ll get that much in base pay increase in your promotion in ACN

No brainer. McK.
