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

Any Advice?

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
