Experience is if a PE engages T2 it’s just to get a number. Final analysis is MBB. Many times PE firms will have Bain work on a problem then Mck do the same or the other way around. All of it is to compare the numbers or get them the numbers they want

Besides a few small instances, each of them prob have a much larger SOW with each MF account than S&. That’s the plain answer.

That’s nothing against strategy&. But there’s an entire segment of the PE engagements that never gets to tier 2s. Not even a look / pitch.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Bain & Company I received an offer to join Bain & Company for SF office but due to family reasons, I will have to stay in the South Bay. Given Bain’s local staffing model, it will be challenging for me to commute to SF and back. Is it possible to be transferred to the palo alto office/is that office fully functioning or does it mainly serve as a hub for partners and research?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
