You can take a look at Vault's rank if you want, but aside from MBB, you'd have some firms with a strong expertise in some verticals (sometimes even better than MBB).
For example, OW is very strong in FS, ZS in Healthcare (along with S&), Booz allen in federal consulting, Kearney in logistics/supply chain, etc...
Some of the "prestige" gets carried due to the industry these firms work for the most, making it harder to define which firm is more "prestigious" than the other
I doubt HR consulting can be considered prestigious
Me watching my wife trying to explain what her employer, BCG does. It almost ends with "... like McKinsey"
Seriously I would not want to be your wife lol wow man

KPMG
Kpmg is not tier 3, if we consider Deloitte acn in tier 3, their strat practice is no where near that.
You spelled DMBB wrong

M without BB is probably more of today’s reality.

Bcg1, I don’t think you realize how psychologically healthy that is.
Oliver Wyman (at least in financial services)
EY Parthenon

Honestly who gives a fck. Outside of a very small subset of people in this world, no one knows or gives a sh about MBB or any T2
Love this argument lmao
Unreal. Everybody knows the one true list:
Pierce & Pierce
Stratton Oakmont
Duke & Duke Commodity Brokers
Jackson Steinem & Co
Bonus points if you can name the #REF!
You forgot J.T. Marlin 😂
EYP and Strategy&
No love for Accenture?
I would put applied intelligence in T2 on par with OW if not better
I only had an offer from S&.
So, after careful consideration, Strategy& is definitely the best T2 firm.
Source: Trust me fam
For real though, who even cares about this?
I wonder if someone from T2 recruiting can comment on cross-offer rates.
LEK vs Kearney vs OW vs S& vs EYP
I recently picked Kearney over S&
S&/EYP/OW are the MBB of T2, specific practices being better than others at each
Rising Star
Kearney's grown strongly these last two years. I also don't think growth for growths sake is indicative of prestige (does growth in a firms implementation practice make it more attractive?)
LEK leads in CDD
EYP strategy is smaller than LEK. Now the TSE side is full of integration people.
Vault surveyed folks in N America to generate this prestige list (scored by consultants out of 10):
1) McK - 8.98
2) BCG - 8.77
3) Bain - 8.63
4) Deloitte - 7.28
5) PwC- 6.86
EY, Accenture, Booz fall just behind PwC, then it’s a noticeable dip to OW and EY to round out top 10.

PWC over T2 or Accenture…I see people are very uninformed as they are higher on the ladder 🤣
Vote for Deloitte’s SAP practice
Ha ha ha as somebody in SAP at D, this answer is like totally based on facts, like trust me bro.
It's hard to talk on a global scale when each regional playing field is vastly different. While Deloitte might be top
tier in the US, they're irrelevant in much of Europe, in the same way Roland Berger is more prestigious than Bain in Germany, yet irrelevant in the US. On a global level, I would say Kearney, Strategy&, or Oliver Wyman could all be 4&5 (order debatable).
In the grand scheme, all of the top 15-20 firms are prestigious and do great work. It's not worth ranking.
C’mon rank it for fun
As you move down the rankings things start getting increasingly industry/region specific.
