OP, because McKinsey represents the consulting industry in the same way McDonald's represents the fast food industry, and copped all the flak for fast food in the 2000s while others got away without the attention. BCG is Burger King in this scenario.

P1: but BCG is ~70% of size and u don’t hear 70% of this type of news. Don’t see logic in what you’re saying

More interesting question is how McK always manages to get out of these scandals relatively unscathed in terms of reputation and business. My hypothesis is that many clients see these scandals as a testament to McK’s influence and access (it’s perverse I know). It’s almost like they want to work with an unscrupulous badass like McK :-). What do you think?

Isn’t it obvious from reading the article? They know where all the bodies are buried 😔

P1: don’t think the brand is infinitely larger than others. Amount of negative press is infinitely larger

Most firms have lawyers who will not let them get within miles of such opportunities, plus very annoying compliance training every year. The culture is also one where your personal
Prestige is not based as much on who you advise but on how innovative you are in what you sell and deliver.

But it’s as good for other firms. One can argue other firms don’t get these opportunities but I think that’s too simplistic. They may not get as many but get some. And they decline those

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
