Should I move from Big4 implementation work to a Solution Delivery Specialist at McKinsey. Pay is better and bonus is better. Is this a terrible way to get McKinsey on my resume? It’s still a specialist role but I know it’s like being a 2nd class citizen at McKinsey.

What's the difference in the type of work? If the pay is better, I'd say go for it.

It’s kind of like a product owner role at McKinsey

about 18% raise and bonus is more guaranteed

Yeah I negotiated when I was told they don’t. Thanks!

It’s actually a pretty awesome role and the firm had great benefits for all. I also think the 2nd class thing is changing as we hire more non-integrative roles.

Yes

Go.

OP, what’s your total YOE?

It’s not the expert path, it’s the solution delivery path, as an FYI

In general...is it as easy as everyone says to exit to google, Adobe, or Facebook, etc from McKinsey after 5 years like everyone makes it seem it is

My opinion - it’s not easy at all. But maybe it’s easier from a technical role.

OP, I would love to get a product owner position at MBB. Would you mind if I DMed you to hear about your experience applying/interviewing?

Yes!

I applied to one of the McK solution delivery roles, and they realigned me toward a different generalist consulting role, perhaps due to hiring demand.

I thought my background better aligned with solution delivery, so I was surprised when they switched me but that may happen to you too! I start next week so let me know if you have any qs about the interview process.

Lol I just finished working, so not sure about that OP

Hi OP, would it be possible to DM you about the role?
