I'm an EY Manager. Got an offer at Consultant at McKinsey for $25k more. Would you take it for a demotion in title? Also, I've heard mixed reviews on culture. Any insight?

I would take it. 10 years down the line you won't know the title difference but it is a great brand name and that does mean something :)

Great advise here. McK is a huge step above EY. Got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Why do people care about title so much? It's the career perspective that makes a difference. This is a no brainer.

Taking a job for $25k is so short sighted, make sure the job has all the opportunities you are looking for long term. The title is not a concern, they may actually be doing you a favor as Manager and higher usually have metric targets that can be tough coming in from the outside and having to rebuild your brand (don't underestimate that factor either). Ultimately you need to figure out where you want to be in a few years and if Mac will be the place to help you get there - otherwise it is a crappy choice for an additional $625/week pretax (so maybe half that is what you'll see take home ).

I did a similar move with demotion from Big 4 to BCG and would highly recommend it. You make more money upfront and given that the promotion timelines are shorter you catch up quite quickly. The demotion is also a blessing, it's very hard to start in mbb as a manager/PL without having been a consultant, there's lot to learn

Would change in title impact your actual role on projects? That's something to consider...

If you are going to do risk there is no better place in North America than FSO. Join MCK for strategy not risk. We compete against MCK on risk projects and kick ass all the time.

Do you think EY is truly a consultancy yet? I love the people and we have some pockets that can compete with any firm and I am fortunate to be part of one of those. That said, as a whole, our leadership still just doesn't get it.
