McKinsey was just in the news for getting paid $660k to advise on Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine strategy, so they are doing work at the federal level. They were in the news because they provided no specific advice but did produce an 8 page summary of publicly available data.

funny

Yes significant but not at OW

Thanks a lot.

At some Big 4 companies there is a Partner / Principal group that has equity and are part owners of the business and an equivalent Managing Director group that does not have equity and are essentially employees.

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Or is it more engineering?
