Who is considered a T2 consulting firm? Is it a static list of firms or continually changing based on reputation?

There is an official list of T1,T2, and T3 firms that you should’ve received on your first day of consulting. The list is audited on a 3 year rotating basis by the Big 4 firms and based on surveys compiled by MBB firms on a similar rotating schedule. If you didn’t receive the list, reach out to your HR contact.

TIER 1: McKinsey, BCG, Bain

I’ll also add that all tiers below MBBSlalom are pretty much irrelevant

Hi Everyone! Between corona and snowstorms, “real life” is seeming as far off as anything else. Curious to hear what some people are doing to keep their employees engaged? Zoom happy hours are dead.. we did a few “virtual contests” (i.e., everyone submitted a pic of themselves dressed up for Halloween, allowing former years as entries, and made a slide show for voting the winner), but I’d like to go a little bigger. Suggestions??
