Thoughts on strategy& compared to McKinsey? In final stages with both. Curious if folks have worked at both - how’s culture, WLB, pay comparison, etc?

Similar cultures and WLB. I think we have higher pay, but McKinsey has faster progression so ultimately ends up being higher by a fair amount.

Push comes to shove, the only reasons to take S& are:

1. You absolutely love your interviewers and know it’s home
2. McKinsey downlevels you
3. You want to focus on a specific industry right off the bat (debatable)

We are as good as the data points around us, I guess.

My statement was based on my observation of my peers who joined that group out of mba, and how early they got promoted as well as exit options they received. YMMV

As an outsider, McKinsey will have better name recognition for exit ops.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
