What are the factors you would consider when comparing manager-level offers from two or three MBBs? 1) Culture, 2) Industry-specific practice strengths, 3) Compensation, 4) Office locations, 5) Brand Value, 6) business class policy?

If you are planning to stay to make Partner, you should ask who (and how many) has done that after lateralling at your level. And the biggest factor is how fast and how well you can integrate yourself into an established pyramid. Not easy for outsiders, especially at BCG where it requires a constellation of Partners in the pyramid to support and sponsor you.

If you are thinking of this as a 2-3 year gig, then go to McKinsey.

P1 curious why McK would be a better choice for a short term stay. Thoughts?

You will learn a ton at any one of MBB and T2 strategy firms. In my experience, McKinsey has a more structured and rigid approach to problem-solving and ways of working. I think this can be a double-edged sword, especially for homegrown senior talent at McK who can't integrate well into other firms because they've only learned the "McKinsey Way".

If you are still building a consultant toolkit (and you will be at your level), I think McKinsey offers the best training among other things like prestige, alum network, etc. Don't think BCG and Bain come even close to that.

My 2 cents

Definitely industry strength. I would say you go to MBB for the network and exit ops, but even if to stay you want to build your portfolio with a strong leadership and reputation in any given industry. Culture second since you don’t wanna hate every team you work on 😂

For manager level, by far should be the firm, practice and office’s ability to integrate a mid-level lateral hire.
