Similar enough to not make a difference

A few other things…
Sign-on bonuses are typically equal ($30k)
Performance bonuses vary a lot AND are done quite differently across MBB in year 1 (e.g., no perf bonus in 1st year at McK, BCG has highest top performer bonus but hard to get in 1st year, etc.)
Retirement and profit sharing are all done differently in terms of how it’s calculated and vesting process
TLDR; you’re looking at ~$240k - $260k all-in with retirement contributions
McK is paying tuition for returning interns? Is this new?
also - McK doesn’t have 1st year bonuses??
You won't live a significantly different life at any of them.
If you're really concerned about a few $K, then I believe that for a typical performer BCG has the slight edge in cash paid in the year, but if you include profit sharing (with vesting) Bain has a slight edge.
But the edge is so small it has no point.
