BA at McKinsey. ✔️

Key here is to understand *prestige* that sets you up for years after exiting McKinsey.

I had a similar decision (manager at Deloitte vs associate at McK), chose McK and couldn’t be happier with the choice. The progression is so quick that the difference in level won’t really impact you long term, and the brand/experiences of McK are more than worth it

Agreed - while D can open a ton of doors, it just can’t compare to Mck. Only scenario I’d choose D is maybe you really don’t like working the long hours, but even then those happen at D just not to the same extent
