Kind of hard to say- within pricing at SKP, probably right around MBB level. Anything else, probably below B4. Kind of an apples to oranges comparison imo though. If you’re trying to rank based on overall prestige then probably somewhere between T2 firms and B4, assuming whoever you’re talking to has even heard of the firm (which is a big assumption lol).

Obviously I’m biased :D but x2 for the apples to oranges comment given the scope of what we do vs. B4.

Take this as just another data point but I know quite a few people who have left SKP (in the US) for MBB but can’t think of a single person who’s left SKP for a B4.

In their focus area, well above B4. Entire league ahead.

On par / better than MBB at pricing/monetization strategy.

Slightly below T2 on sales/marketing/growth strategy.

Don’t do other work, so N/A for that. Same as you wouldn’t rank MBB on their legacy tech implementation abilities.

They are super specialized in pricing so one of the top in that domain, but broadly speaking they would be below the top tiers.

like

In general (in US), slightly below T2 but above B4. Tough to truly compare to some of the other T2s because we focus primarily on pricing/sales whereas they have other primary focus areas. Big 4 will have broader name recognition but I would definitely recommend choosing SKP over B4 (from someone who has worked at both).
