Bain & Company PSA for MBA recruits for consulting: In NA, while Bain and BCG offers 21 weeks of parental leave for non-birth parents, McK only offers 11. Figure it is an important factor to consider for MBA recruits given their life-stage, and parental leave tends to get overlooked in recruiting McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group

So I run recruiting for BCG, this is wrong information. I’m all for competing, but wrong info sucks…

Firm, weeks for birth parent, weeks non birth parent:
BCG: 22, 14
McK: 21, 11 (updated, thanks, McK1)
Bain: 22, 22

My bad! Removed my mistaken message. 24 weeks was them trying to claim you can just tack on vacation...as though we can't all do that....

This is wrong. IIRC it's 14 weeks for BCG (22 for birth parents, just like McK). And I believe Bain is 24 weeks for both, so best by far.

Yeah, that sounds more accurate.

Since when? Just curious — I had a kid at BCG - few years ago and only got 8 weeks, and got pressure not to take it (ended up getting it all but deferring till later).

Since earlier this year

It’s 11 for McK non birth

Thanks BCG1 and 2 for the accurate dp! It helps us recruits a lot

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
