McKinsey & Company Just started working at a firm a month ago. Just received an offer from McKinsey & Company - GCI Analytics team for Data Engineer. I enjoy the laid back culture at Slalom, co-workers, and WLB. Mckinsey is offering 22k more though. With having a new child on the way and me being well off already due to having a nice rental property I'm concerned about the terrible WLB that I heard McKinsey has. Also, Idon't want to have a bad rep for leaving a company after a month. Looking for opinions?!

Is McKinsey's WLB for GCI Analytics better than consultant side?

In terms of lifestyle, which is OP’s main concern, yes of course it is better

But overall career progression, comp, etc it is not

A month is nothing. This happens more frequently than you think.

Talk to a few people at McKinsey in that role and see how they’re doing!

Not on GCI but am a Data Engineer and it’s better hours than the consultants for sure.

I’d move for $22k more

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
