I’m leaving consulting and I have two offers/options. 1) McKinsey for an internal role as manager with both strategic and operational activities or 2) a non-super well known company but for a global senior manager role with strategic focus. Thinking about the benefits in the long term. Does company popularity matters ?

Just my two cents, I don't think "Ex-McK" really means that much unless it's actually in consulting, and any competent hiring manager should know the difference

Bingo. Everyone here is obsessed with the name. It opens doors but you still need to have the qualifications. Even on the consulting side it’s not going to get you everything

Go McK

Would lean McKinsey but really depends on role and compensation. I know Mck has roles that are S&O managers that are chief of staff lite positions which are largely administrative with not a ton of room for growth

like

Also with the market trending as it is - would be targeted with your internal role. Is it something you could see them axing?

If you want to leave consulting why McK? Agree with the above post - outside of consulting I don’t think McKinsey holds as much weight. If youre going to make the leap do something that you will enjoy (and seems in this case pays more). Moving consultancies would be same sh** different company IMO

like

I see no benefit to being at McKinsey unless you are in their consulting practice. Being internal offers about as much benefit as being internal in any other professional services company. So unless you are passionate about consulting but not being a consultant (which would be odd I guess) I wouldn’t put any value on the Mckinsey name.

Depends on what you wanna do

My personal opinion is McKinsey has a good brand name and may have better growth opps, but it comes down to which role you feel you would enjoy the most in terms of work, culture, etc. There will always be lots of options regardless of which choice you make! Personally I have moved to smaller companies form bigger brands and enjoyed myself and still receiving lots of other opps across companies.

McKinsey.

How does comp compare?

The company x is offering 15% more than McKinsey, and 20% anual bonuses from anual base pay.

Do you care about work life balance?

Yes! At this time is all I care

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?

Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%
