Tend to come across McKinsey and Deloitte the most. Haven’t seen BCG or S&/Kearney

To be honest though it’s difficult to tell. So much of our work is either inbound or with existing clients. Unless you are taking over from someone or in a bake off, it’s rare you’d come across another firm.

Tech practice (note: consulting for tech companies, not the tech implementation / digital practice)

For me it’s Bain and McKinsey mostly and then in tech and people related stuff I see Accenture and Deloitte. Very client dependent though. Consumer practice in North America.

Honestly I’ve never come across either of them in the past ~year that I’ve been actively involved in client development. Might just be a function of my practice - I’m sure its different by industry and function!

I come across BCG all the time and Deloitte once in a while.

Yeh we definitely do less of the 12-18 month transformations with multiple teams. Starting to do more, but historically it’s a size thing. In a world where supply is the issue not demand we’d have tended to prioritise four one team strategy cases over a single four team transformation

Definitely a focus now though as we’ve got to the scale where we need to do that to sustain growth.

Hey, Chi. First time caller.

So I'm considering a switch from law to consulting, and noticed EY has started posting salary ranges for positions. All the mid- to senior-level jobs I'm looking at are in the $95k to $150k range. Is that right? True for all the big 4? Seems super low. I guess I never thought about it before but how exactly do you folks get paid?

If yes, how much one can expect in variable pay for fixed compensation of around 25-30lpa.

I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep so I can rest and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, market sizing drills, and more 🤕

I’ve spoken to people at all the MBBs and here’s some thoughts-
1) BCGers have been the friendliest and happiest personality wise
2) McKinsey folks have been helpful but to the point, objective
3) Bain folks have also been helpful but maybe a little bit in between 1) and 2)

Thoughts? Does this reflect the general people culture of each firm or am I misreading the cues?
