If you were at director level looking at partner, D to McK might be a tough choice. Rebuilding a network is hard.

At SC level, it’s a no brainer, unless you have your heart set on partner at D go to McK.

The long term play would be to take the Mck role

I was in VERY similar position. I was a SC at a diff consulting firm, and was literally 3 months away from a promotion to Manager. Had around ~7-8 YOE at that point. Ended up taking a sr analyst position at McK, which has a lower overall comp than what I would have made as Manager, but longer term trajectory comp wise will be better at Mck, at similar levels.

You can find sr analysts within generalist/integrative path as well. Overall, It sounds like Yiu e already made up your mind. I will say, at this time I wish I would have stuck it out for a bit just to have that manager title before jumping because EM at mck is not guaranteed in any sense and I think having direct management experience would lead to better exit opps

I would do McK if I were you

Not a step down.

McK generalist is better than a SC at D. It is technically a step down BUT McK is the best firm IMO. Now if you’re getting into specialist track, only the brand is better but not the work.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
