McKinsey came knocking on the door this week regarding an opportunity. Would you open the door and entertain an exit opp at MBB in this climate? Haven’t even been at ACN for a year, but thought I’d

Man people are crazy about MBB but fail to realize their non strat arms are crap. No client is going to a strat firm for tech implementation/their ds groups are nascent. If it’s in core consulting, though, def take it.

"Can you explain why you left Accenture for McK after less than 1 year?" - said no recruiter ever

Yeah just do it!

Being a generalist at MBB vs a specialist is not the golden calf many of you think it is. Having been at MCK and B4, nobody does strategy better than MBB but b4, ACN and others do things better an dm more cost effectively than MBB can / does. All this is to say, if you want McK on your resume go but the academy is not as good as pure generalist at MCK. This will also be reflected in exits.

Not at all. However, don’t act like you did straight strategy bc they will be lying

Why not? The whole process at MBB would take longer than two rounds. I’d go for the experience. Anyways it’s just a chat.

OP, how many hours were you working at ACN?

I think a lot of people want to wear a badge that they work a lot of hours. Realistically most people can still be top performers at 55-60 hours a week with some organization, planning, and strategic push back.

Good luck! I joined the Firm last year and it has been a transformative experience.

That’s a good point D2. I’m in T&O providing change support/expertise for SAP and Salesforce implementations, which is why I was wondering about the strat piece vs. straight tech implementation plays. I do have learning development experience which could tie into the M academy maybe, especially in this digital/virtual wfh time

What ended up happening OP?

I thought I was meeting with an executive search person to discuss my background and what I’m looking for. She asked for my resume beforehand, normal. When we got on the call she said “I’m talking with you today about a Director of x role.” The next 45 minutes was intense interview, then 15 minutes of her saying she is putting my presentation together for the CEO (hiring manager) to review. And if he doesn’t like me she has other clients who would.
