McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

You fly all over the country but you are working on platinum? And just made SPG platinum? You sound like a new hire.
lol, well you could've at least answered the first part of the question. I fly out of LA and started with AA. My project is in Detroit so rather than connecting I started working on DL Diamond. With an AMEX Platinum, I think the overall experience has been better with lounge access. Didn't have Admiral's Club Access even as ExP
With the Marriott merger this likely matters little. Delta + SPG + Amex Plat is great for crossover rewards basically giving you triple points.
It depends. Where do you fly from and where do you fly to?
All over the country

If you are traveling all over the place, you want operational reliability and On time performance. Look at the latest airline report card (Air Travel Consumer Reports @ transportation.gov) and draw your own conclusions about what means the most to you.
For the big 3 on time performance in January (reported in March, 2017), Delta was #3 (behind Hawaiian and Alaska). United #6 and American #7.
You can also gleen airport stats - e.g. JFK is on time with departures 77.7% of the time versus EWR at 70.3%, so if you have a choice of airports, you can slice the data another way.
I did just start traveling.. and yes it's all over for my current project. why is that a problem?
It's not a problem but it basically means there's no single answer lol. The airlines all travel to a few major hubs all around, but it depends on geography. Until one buys all another legacy carrier, you won't get directs everywhere more than 80% of the time if you're truly traveling all over the US
It's just funny because you are making decisions like it's this huge commitment based off of one project. You could be remote for 6 months after this. And doesn't Accenture try to do regional anyway now?
