Hey MBB folks,

I am working in a boutique consulting firm and have applied for the Associate - PIPE position (McKinsey - London) Recruiter has scheduled a call with me next week. Seems like a screening call. Yet to apply for BCG and Bain.

Can someone from each firm shed some light on below:

1 - Work life balance in PEG and PIPE
2 - Pay
3 - I know Bain is strong but I think Mck and BCG are equally good or they are not?
4 - Can I become generalist in case I feel burn out after some time?

I’m currently on the bench and had a senior colleague reach out to me about assisting with a work item. I volunteered to help (but I can’t charge my time). There was (to my knowledge) an entire team of individuals working on the project up until last week so it seemed to me that my help wasn’t really needed. The project is spinning down and they’ve lessened the team members, but I’m still helping out with tasks. I don’t mind helping at all, but it seems weird. Am I thinking into this too much?
