It really depends on what you're looking to do. For advisory, it seems like the big four have all kind of taken a 'section' of advisory services at the banks - ie: PwC is focused on regulatory and compliance, Deloitte dominates tech, etc.

Insurance is definitely Deloitte with most respects (Guidewire, strategy, other products, implementation). OW for insurance strategy.

Banking - actually very evenly spread. MBB at executive level. Big four + Accenture at level below. Deloitte + Accenture for tech. PwC / EY for reg, fraud, AML, cyber etc. KP for process management and changes. 🤷‍♂️

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.

Hi folks ! I’m also at the final round interviews for a product role at a startup, and I’m now having an existential crisis. I know McKinsey is not the best place to grow as a PM (despite its numerous other career benefits), but I’m having trouble figuring out what I want. I’m a healthcare based PM here , and this role is at a health tech startup. I may potentially get a bump in salary, but not sure at this moment

Hi all,
I’m currently a junior doctor in an intensive care in London. I’m hoping to make a career switch over to consulting. I’ve done research, but struggling to find an initial landing spot in consulting. Does anyone have advice about making the switch from medicine? Where should I start/aim for? For reference I graduated 3 years ago and am currently studying an MSc in Global Health Policy at LSHTM. Thanks!
