Made the pivot from Big 4 to Bain and frankly underwhelmed. Seems like Bains Ops capabilities / general knowledge resources / white papers are lagging the industry quite a bit. Miles behind BCG / McKinsey as well. Literally only good for PE and nothing else.

Pay is marginally better and culture is much better - so still net positive but yeah the MBB marketing is definitely over hyped. Shows why Bain is lagging B4 in terms of consulting size, and large scale (government / financial services) projects etc. But c’est la vie, I guess.

You may be the first to say Bain is lagging big 4 lol. Pay vs. Big 4 strategy may be close at entry levels but diverges meaningfully beyond that.

And Bain is significantly larger than any of the big 4 strategy arms, so I’m confused as to how they’re trailing in scale.

I mean, judging a firms capabilities off of white papers (which are marketing fodder) is certainly a novel and unique perspective to take…

Also, not being the number one / two firm in ops implies they suck at literally everything except PE? Also some unique logic.

But yes, Bain has its faults and limitations, as does every firm.

Please go back to your big 4

At least you are getting more pay, be happy with that

Damn lol

How do you know Bain is lagging behind BCG and McK? Could easily be a case of grass always being greener on the other side.

We have smaller graphics teams, McK1. We have them, we just don’t use them as excessively. We also typically have larger client facing case teams and a more bottom heavy pyramid than you. Big driver of our culture.

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?
