Depends. Will your TC at McKinsey overcome your TC at your current firm in 1-2 years? If so, yes.

If you're coming from neither Bain nor BCG, yes. Lose $15k now for way more upside than that later.

I’d say it’s depends on what % that pay cut is

~10%

Yes. You get to EM and you can leave for google and make $400k. I know because half my peers did just that lol

TC 350-400 you don’t have to be that senior

Nope!

$ is but a fictitious representation of human derived value so I’d say yes, unless you buy into that whole thing that makes society operate

What are the upsides you are seeing? Really depends on what you're aiming for

worth it

Yes

It depends

If you’re getting better exposure or more opportunities, yeah. I’ve taken a few paycuts in my career. Has always paid off. To me it’s like paid training and an investment in yourself.

Nope

It could be but we have no idea based on your current ask.

Absolutely

Took McK BA offer for 37% less but happy with comp now.
Don’t forget to factor in your bonus and the raises.

Depends on where you are now…if Bain or McK then no. If you’re at another firm, maybe
