Is there any difference coming from McKinsey vs BCG for PE Ops? I’m a medical doctor with a BCG full-time offer through their advanced degree pathway, also interviewing with McKinsey in a month. Just curious since I might choose one over another if exits differ (if I get both offers ofc)

Bain is better bro

LS and healthcare projects are less likely to lead to a PE OPs exit especially in the LS of that combo. PE doesn’t do operational improvement in LS so little transferability of skills.

Anything outside of MBB makes it much harder to get a good PE Ops role.

T2 and B4 tend to go to lower middle market funds that can be very lucrative if you get lucky, but in general pay a lot less, value their PE Ops teams a lot less, and have a higher chance of not delivering great investment performance (and hence carry could be worthless and non essential jobs would be cut)

I don't think this is trending differently unfortunately. EYP offers a decent work quality for half or less of the price of MBB so they are a compelling firm to hire, but that doesn't mean their consultants are seen as the cream of the crop when hiring for the fund.

No difference.

No difference, at least in the US

Yes, if you choose the right projects. A combination of strategy, due diligence, and implementation

For us, between McK or BCG no difference. Bain usually not at the same level. Rationale is we focus on implementation and delivering P&L. We like folks with exp on success fee linked engagements. There are exceptions, but most of the time Bain does not do as many of such engagements as the other 2

like

Hard to tell with EYP, have seen a mixed bag. Generally with non-MBBs, we tend to prefer those from places like A&M, Kearney. Either way we are mostly firm agnostic, key focus is on implementation capabilities.

No diff. MBB “perceived” the same. Though all MBB insiders know McK is gold standard. An honest Bainie here. Bs — stop fucking drinking cool aid.

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday.
