Likely can swing senior manager but very few are hiring remote roles at this point. Especially if you are optimizing for title, you’re gonna have to take hybrid at least, most likely.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match.

Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
