Bain & Company Mckinsey expert track - anyone willing to chat with me? What exactly is the expert track, is it still a consulting role, and are the hours better? I'm an experienced professional. I assume BCG and Bain have the same expert track as well McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

Expert track is very similar to generalists with the exception you’re delivering more of the content and being the focus on the expertise you bring, you need to maintain and expand that knowledge.

For me, WLB was better, barely ever worked late nights unless the team was in multiple time zones. Often had multiple clients at the same time. Upwards progression can be slower

Pay is more or less the same

Specialist here (expert track associate)

My hours are identical to integrative folks because I am staffed like a normal associate.

There is no expert partner. If you make partner from expert path, you are just a normal partner

What was your recruiting/interview process like as a specialist?

There’s expert consulting which is pretty close to traditional, and then expert roles are a little bit more middle office

Expert track partners ARE equity partners

Hours: Better than general consulting (mostly)

Unsure of expert track. Guessing it basically means that it will be an equivalent to a partner track on the general consultants side but not exactly with the same financial rewards as GC partners.

This is wrong at Bain and wrong at McK. If you have to “guess” please just don’t post.

Important detail, at least in the long term: expert partners (or any other name they are given in other firms) are usually non-equity partners, and it's nearly impossible to reverse this once you get there

Expert parter IS an equity partner

Are the titles the same? I ask since I've seen Associate director title at BCG but this is not a title on the generalist path.

We separated the titles above Project Leader a few years ago. Associate Director is basically equivalent to Principal

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

26M here looking into a micro-buyout opportunity in the Digital Asset Management SaaS space (library document management).

The minimum is $50k. Is it dumb to spin up an SPV with a few friends to invest in this? I know the GP of the acquiring firm.
