Bain & Company Hello, I received an offer as a Senior Practice Manager at Bain. The profit sharing range is 0-12% in the offer letter. Is it typical to receive the midpoint (6%)? Also, what do the annual salary increases typically look like? Any insights are much appreciated. Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company
McKinsey & Company Hi everyone. Hope all is well.
Recently took the McKinsey & Company game (not sure if I have an interview yet but preparing nonetheless). It’s an entry level business analyst position and an entry level digital position and was wondering if anyone wanted to case prep with me. I’m willing to work on anyones time zone. (I’m located in Sydney, Australia).

It’s the day to day manager / execution lead for a project. They call it SM because it’s a substantive promotion in the Bain hierarchy from M to SM. Think of an M an “SM in training” - it’s a short “time window” where you’re tested for the next level and if you can’t hack it they force you out.
(In most cases) as an SM you’re in charge of delivery, upward, downward, and the appropriate client management
1st year SM at Bain is roughly a second year PL at BCG
PL is our big promotion point
