This is not a good reason to decide between the firms - these sort of differences are minute. Focus on culture / where the people feel like best fit or where the local office does more of the type of work you want to do.

But those things are almost never equal.

Ive heard BCG have the superior health care benefits

Same no monthly fee. $100 deductible. Partner benefits are even better.

I’d rather have a good high deductible plan with firm contribution to HSA. If you make more than $150k, it’s worth more than any Cadillac plan (i.e., the firm HSA contribution covers deductible, and any additional money you put in the HSA is never taxed and grows tax free as long as you use it for healthcare expenses).

As someone who worked at McKinsey and has seen the BCG plan really closely , I can tell you the overall benefits at BCG are better but the difference is unlikely to amount to much. In the earlier stages of your career , BCG will pay more. If you want to exit quickly , McKinsey has likely more alums in companies throughout the world and our alum job board posting tend to be 2x. To 3x more because of that. Your can’t go wrong either way

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
