If you’re coming from an elite school, yes it’s absolutely easier to land the interview. Once you’re in the process tho, you’re going to have to reach the same standards as any of the higher demand offices.

Not necessarily at least not at McK
I mean you have 3 office selections and even if you don’t make all 3 your profile gets sent to a global pool.

I really don’t know why people keep asking this

Ppl want to game the system

Lower demand, but also less spots. It’s about the same for any given office

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?

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?

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
