Of LEK, OCC, Oliver Wyman and Kearney what is the best for PE/VC exits for a male. Or do I need to realistically be in MBB?

Checking I read that correctly. Please could you clarify the “for a male” part?

Seems like there aren’t many males from those companies that have got into PE/VC but relatively more females (source LinkedIn past company)

I believe the 2037 alumni party for OC&C is going to be spectacular, you should definitely factor that into your decision process.

In descending order..

Wyman (brand)
LEK (heavy DD work)
OC&C (less known brand in US)
Kearney (less DD work)

Happy to have others challenge this

To challenge, Kearney London PE practice is big and growing. Plus the global head of PE is a partner in the London office

Deloitte

LEK get a higher % of T1 PE exits

OCC/OW mid market and both fairly equal - though OW are building out a private capital team so perhaps experience there will be more PE related

Cut Kearney off the list unless you want to go into a ops portfolio role

Kearney have a strong commercial dd practice but obviously do have a heritage on operations. We work with the biggest funds and have had leavers into deal team.

Lol selective applications in strategy consulting. You must think you're very good

For VC it really doesn’t matter. All of them pretty much fall in the same bucket meaning you‘ll simply have to work harder to network and break in than your MBB counterparts.

How does VC comp compare to that of PE? Heard that you’d have equivalent bases (~80k) but with a much smaller bonus

Why does gender matter?
