McK fish, do you know why we don’t have a DD ringfence like BCG/Bain? Obviously we have PEPI, but why didn’t the Firm make it into a ringfence?

But don’t we have “strike teams”, which is essentially the same thing as ringfence

very interesting trend..

Mck just doesn’t do as much DD work, and, not getting the big deals the other two are getting. Guess not a strategic focus.

The reason why there is no ringfence is likely because not a strategic focus (relatively). Compared with Bain PEG which is there bread and butter.

what exactly is a ringfence? How doesnit differ from typical DD work?

A ringfence is just a “fenced” off area such as what they have at BCG and Bain where you agree to a X month stint doing only diligences. The logic from what I’ve heard is it enables you to get good at them to actually start adding value faster and more reliably. My broader question though is that it seems we don’t really care about PE DD work, BCG is making huge strides leveraging their expertise, and we have as much or more than them yet don’t seem to leverage it/be making any defined DD play as a firm

Ringfence is a maximum security compound where consultant level and below are kept.

Easier to keep them consistently on CDDs for an extended period of time.

funny

I think the logic behind ringfencing it is such that people who do PE work do it for a 3 or 6 month defined stint, which improve the ability to actually get good at it, whereas at McK I have noticed people don’t adhere to that logic. We also seemingly don’t care much about PE work, which confuses me.

Have a friend got hired directly into PEPI as an Associate, thought the ringfence exists for McK? This is for Europe btw.

Hi Fishes,

I have been offered 40 CTC for the C3B role (8.5 exp) Could you please help me in taking the decision.

Q1) how much percentage of Performance Pay generally people get on average. E.g. if it is X then will they give X or 50% of X.

Q2) Is this offer as per TCS standard?

Q3) Does it worth joining TCS from Big4 with just a 25% hike as I am expecting a 15% hike in the current firm in June?

Thanks!

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
