What’s the difference in the travel/staffing model between MBB? I know Bain does the home office model so they travel less, but what about McK or BCG?

Home office staffing doesn’t necessarily mean less travel - just travel among people from your office. I’m in an East Coast office and we travel to the Midwest/South all the time, in addition to the typical East Coast cities - locations really vary based on the managers and partners who sold the case and aren’t limited to the region (though often are based in the region given partner preferences). Our cross-office exposure comes from global trainings and social events rather than case work.

Separately, we’ve always tended to scope 2-3 days/week travel where possible to optimize sustainability. I think most offices have a mix of local, 2-3 day, and 4 day travel cases - you’ll have more variety at larger offices. I think scoping makes more of a direct impact on lifestyle than home office staffing. Home office staffing makes a huge difference on culture, but not necessarily on sustainability.

We’re transitioning from a global to a local staffing model, so the norm nowadays is to fly less
