Which offices in the United States are considered “big” in terms of having higher demand for head counts and new hires? I’m not looking to take advantage of applying to an “easier” office (there is none) but rather understand the supply and demand landscape. There are locations in high demand but not necessarily hiring that much (such as Seattle, SF...) but what about other larger offices that aren’t as popular? Would appreciate insights from MBB thanks

I would say that all large offices are popular. Headcount targets are going to be largely proportional to size (we need to replace people more than we need to grow). In the US our largest offices would be Boston, NYC, Chicago, SF. I'm assuming the same for McKinsey and BCG.

I would avoid offices like NYC, Boston, and SF and think about offices like ATL, Chicago, and Dallas. The latter are still large offices but less demand from students at top ivy’s

Bain has a local staffing model so less likely. McKinsey has the least local staffing so most likely. BCG somewhere in the middle?

This is for campus recruiting, at a target on west coast

Anecdotally it appears easier to get an offer from a new, smaller office

Was still a top MBA program so it’s not like they weren’t qualified, but they had better success there then applying to other cities

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
