Mck for sure
Was in a similar situation 2 years back, chose to stay and pretty happy about it. I did not have to re-build my internal brand and I did not have to wait an additional year for the M promotion. Don’t think I can advise you further - would depend on overall career goals, standing at current company and how well you like you current company
My firm’s not Kearney. It’s lower down the list. So to others’ points Mck is an up in my game, in brand value, exit Ops, etc. But love my firm, nothing to complain, and I’m in very strong momentum to grow my role/career within the firm. Still, I’m leaning towards Mck, it’s a rare opportunity to get this type of exposure in my career
So in 3 months you'll likely make more than what McK is offering?
Hey KP1, sorry bad wording back there. At M level with current firm I’d be making similar $ as Mck ASC

Take McK
Wait to get promoted, then come here 😅
Fair. My interviews took months. Idk fam, I only interviewed at Mck cause it wasn’t worth it to me to join any other firm. Make an educated guess as to which one will put you on the path you want and send it

Really depends on two things
1) What firm are you in now and the branding, trajectory it provides. If it is a good reputable T2 type (OW, Kearney) that has clear career path, I think staying makes a lot of sense (hope you are not in one of those firms with many more levels and layers after M)
2) What are your long term career aspirations? Make M and level? Make partner? How much does branding matter if you were to leave and how does current brand stack up against McK?

Question. What PE and what work will you do there?
