McK is about to get fucked so go to BCG

What's happening with McK?

BCG for growth, culture, and ethics. Non BCGer here.

In the US they’re almost identical. Ex-US McKinsey still has a much bigger scale and brand name

McK will get you to partner noticeably quicker. BCG will save you the headache of regularly seeing your employer on the news.

This is insightful! Thanks for sharing

BCG is great! I find the environment/people to be very welcoming and non competitive.

If you’re in it for the long haul and don’t want to burn yourself out to the bone, don’t go to McKinsey (even though 10+ years down the line, if you make it to Senior Partner, the comp is better).

If you’re in it to get it on your resume, it’s the gold standard and will remain that way.

How? Can you give me any tips?
