What factors are driving McKinsey’s recent workforce reductions and decrease in total headcount, even as its closest competitors, especially BCG, continue to aggressively expand their hiring? Is this a strategic recalibration in response to shifting market demands, a reflection of differing growth trajectories in the consulting industry, or something else entirely?

Anyone have experience going back to school for either an LLM, MBA or something else while still maintaining their practice?

For context, I am an associate at a 5-7 attorney firm with a billable target in the 1300 vicinity.

What are everyone's thoughts on making the Monthly Child Tax Credit permanent? I think it is an important step to care for the families in our area, but I know not everyone believes in this program

Does anyone have question suggestions for a final interview with skip level boss? Big picture, vision for the role + team, growth strategy type questions! Thanks :)

Applied to McKinsey as an experienced hire in the first week of December. Any insight on potential / average timeline for hearing back in the current climate?

Fellow MBBers, any of you think the banking raises will trickle over to us (110k starting) or nah?

Anyone know the raise amounts for BCG yet?

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?

What do you think about the new BCG practice on Transformation? Is it a repackaging of TURN or something better?

Any 🐠 from London Business School here working at MBB in the US? I am a current MBA student and would love to connect with alums to know more about their experience about cross geography recruiting.

A friend of mine applied for a job at Bain and he said part of application requested his SAT scores! What’s the point of asking for his test scores? He has a degree.

Have McK phone case coming up, has anyone had feedback on why you haven’t passed? Looking to avoid missteps.

Got rejected from McK after one final round interview didn’t go well. When can I reapply? I was being considered for a post-MBA role. Super bummed

Best way to improve critical thinking?

Do MBB pay a referral bonus if your referral gets hired?

Just took this BCG Quant Reasoning test and I think I messed it up. Some of the units are so confusing. Is nearest 000s of pounds 23000 or 23? They don’t partial mark it and the whole test was filled with this sort of thing. Oh well

Finally, closure. I now understand the "not creative enough" feedback from McKinsey.

I know, too soon! Tasteless, Smug, Self Gratification, False Self Conciliation..... Haha

Seriously, shout out to all the great people at Mck having to suffer from the stupid actions of a few. It will blow by soon. Keep your heads up!

BCG versus McK for digital consulting? If we are looking broadly at the digital transformation space, then what are some of the strengths of each of firm as well as any glaring drawbacks?

Looking at Forrester, they are both leaders in the space, but it would be helpful to understand the perception of each.

Got a referral to BCG and still haven’t had anybody follow up to screen or interview me. It’s been two weeks now. Lol do I give up all hope? How long does this usually take?

Can Mck fish please advise on the role of a sponsor? How is different from role of mentor? TIA

Does previous Consulting experience increase your odds when applying for MBB during MBA recruiting?

How is performance measured at MBB?
