Accept the offer. You need not join if you get into mck and want to join there. Even if you join KPMG you can quit to join McK. May hay while the sun shines. Your SC cycle will get reset to year 1 though if you join KPMG.

Just call up the recruiter and thank him/her for the offer, say you're thrilled (36% is great!) and tell them that it's a big decision and that you need a little more time to think it over. Next, you call the McKinsey recruiter, tell them you have an exploding offer on the table and need their help to expedite the process at McK (coz, let's face it McK >> K). Tell them your first choice is McK all else being equal and DO NOT say anything more (Who, How Much, etc). Good luck and let me know how it all goes!

OP, can you please let us know what route you decide to take? I'm in a similar situation right now...

👀

I have another interview lined up, but the other big4 that gave me an offer isn't extending their deadline past this Friday.

K1, you can't be sore about the truth!

No harm done, anyone would bounce for an MBB bite

@pwc did you tell recruiter your current salary to la d the 36% and also what practice are you in? Great going, congrats!

Since when did we have SC positions at Pwc

Is it for the same role? We play that game often to recruit, but salary increases after they hire you a minimal at best to get you aligned to market. Also, I would question the loyalty of someone who bounces firms every 2-4 years. However I now that is far more common now.

Yes, similar role. This would be my first jump since undergrad.

Yes, I gave the recruiter my current salary.

What's your base @op and practice?

@OP curious to know if it's for Digital McKinsey? I'm in the same boat as you along with another colleague of mine.

SC1 mine is

No, it's for McKinsey Solutions.

Same situation here also with McKinsey Digital, what is going on lol

Ey1. Looking for a practice partner?

Lol let me know too

They said I didn't need to take a case, only more junior positions do? Not sure.

What position are you interviewing for
