McKinsey & Company Interned at Mck last summer. Got offers McK Dubai and Monitor Deloite in the UK. A sentiment that's shared commonly on the bowl - Middle East experience isn't valued as much globally. My long-term goal is to stay in Europe or move to the US. Any advice on which option would yield the best long-term results.McKinsey & Company Deloitte Monitor Deloitte

Do your 1.5-2 years at McK and move on.

I worked at MD for 3 years and I’m 1.5 years at MCK. Mck will work you to the bone and still fire you for vague reasons. Mck isn’t really winning work due to high fees. MD has stable work , you work less hours, and there’s more job security. I’d go for those reasons. But if you want more money (but less per hour) and more , I guess, clout, then go to Mck.

This is such a weird take

I just saw that you want to stay in Europe or the US. Md has better moving options in my opinion. Mck there’s not much transfers at the moment and it’s really hard to move to the US unless you have a real reason (wife or husband or family is there).

Are MBB not all effectively shell co. franchises…?

I’m ex MD in London and now BCG in Dubai. Sad to say, but MD has become a shell brand, internally & externally. It’s dead. Do not take it over McK, especially as there -will- always be mobility options within any MBB. And even if not, a McK exit after 2+ years would land you a very good job in Europe or the US

Our Global People Leader is in Dubai office. Not bad to sit tight in Dubai.

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG.

I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
