Kearney has a strong PSDS team that pays the same as the rest of the firm. Really nice folks at least a few years ago when I worked there.

I don't believe we're treated like 2nd class citizens.
Most of us only work 40hours a week with minimal travel. Your pay is much closer to commerical folks if you factor in # of hours.

That time in invaluable. I use it to help wife run her business and supplement hh income

Definitely not a gps problem. I think its a Big 4 problem because historically, they did not sell similar types of work when they built their government practices.

Thats why mbb, among every other reason, is a better place to be.

You are not treated like second class citizens, you are paid according to your market value. Companies will never pay you more that your willingness to supply (in this case your willingness to work for them).

I agree with Bain1. From what I understand, it is high on revenue and margin.

McKinsey was smart to enter the space and we are quickly trying to capitalize on them being thrown off the GSA schedule.

I'd argue our HC and HE consultants are treated as well or better than our Business Advisory folks.

Is there anyone who’s experienced helping their parents get health insurance? Specifically, they aren’t eligible for Medicare, make too little to qualify for ACA subsidies, and cannot get employer-provided insurance. Only option is to pay standard premiums - and if that ultimately is the case, fine. Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
