No, we hire anyone for DC. Last BA class was mostly high school dropouts and random people the managing partner met on the metro. 😉

Seriously, there aren’t prestigious offices. New joiners will sometimes try to convince themselves that NYO or SFO are more
competitive or better than, say, Dallas but it’s silliness. The bar is the bar. You’re all going to be sitting in the same team room, doing the same ops project in Indiana at some point.

Facts

The “competitiveness” just is a factor of how many people apply (ie. NYO always has a ton of applicants because it’s New York). The bar is the same regardless of office.

We’ll never know without numbers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
