Managed to get an Experienced BA offer at McK (3 YoE), appreciate all the help from this bowl!

Now need to decide whether to take it. From comp perspective, Deloitte is $125k + bonus (~$20k), McK is $115k + bonus (~$25k). Deloitte will sponsor my MBA starting 2023 (in a deferred M7 program), with McK I'll have to wait until 2024 (if I'm approved at all). Enjoy my analytics work now, hopefully would in McK Digital too.

Thoughts? Likely going to accept the offer but could use some other POVs

I’d base it off how much you want to do an MBA, but keep in mind you’ll have a huge comp bump if you stay at McK long enough to make EM (about 2 years, TC closer to 300k)

No one will care about MBA once you get to EM & above at Mck. Nothing better than practical experience Mck > MBA

Longer term, McK will do a lot more for you than Deloitte. seems like an easy decision to me

the qualitative difference is such that I wouldn't even look too much into the financial difference of how much more Deloitte is offering

Yeah, another vote for mck. Deloitte pays a pittance more on the hopes that 1 in 100 will actually go for it. Don’t be that guy.

Congratulations!

Had the same choice as you and picked McK. Admittedly the choice was easier for me because McK offered sponsorship and higher pay and D did not. However I have enjoyed the experience at McKinsey much more and I suspect you will too if you went through the trouble of interviewing.

Don’t be too tied to the sponsorship aspect though. Are you really going to come back to D post-MBA and stay for 2+ years? I did the math on it one time and there’s an extremely narrow band of scenarios where it makes sense to come back to D and they all involve exiting immediately after sponsorship vesting and even then it’s a big if. Just do your MBA and pivot to where you want to go instead of staying where you don’t want to be for a far away carrot.

Had the same choice, with BCG. Take it - seriously a career game changer and much more interesting work / interesting and smart people. Have looked back once even though I “lost” little over a year of tenure

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
