Unless you’re being CTL’ed, don’t do it. I moved from McK to BCG (not in NJ) and liked McK a lot more. Despite what the media portrays, I found McK much more focused on doing the right thing and helping clients while BCG is super focused on selling and bringing in revenue at all costs. I came in with a lot of tenure credit and then learned I couldn’t actually be promoted in the time that would suggest because it didn’t give time for sufficient view points. I also couldn’t shake the (incorrect) perception that I must have been CTL’ed from McKinsey.

What would meaningfully change?
