What are some techniques for mind control?
Does anyone have insight into the Kearney case? Obviously each one will be unique and different but any input would be appreciated. Do they tend to be more market sizing or traditional profitability. Is it more quant heavy or brainstorming ideas? Are there generally a lot of hidden messages that will come into play at the end of the case or straight forward?
I understand this is a broad general question but looking to gauge how prepared I am and what I should continue to focus on during my prep
Big 4 has the stronger brand than Mckinsey according to who? Your high school friends that don’t know anything?

Everyone knows the big 4. Deloitte at least
MBB partner.
MBB might be less recognizable, but it has far better brand equity in the relevant circles. It’s like buying a suit from Hugo Boss vs Loro Piana.
Not to mention at MBB you’re working with literally the best of the best. Very few bad seeds make it past the rigorous screening. The big4 has lots of smart people, but tons of idiots too.
I bet big 4 has better coffee too
Strong brand, strong coffee. Simple
i mean, big4 certainly has more general public recognition, but to anyone who matters McKinsey is without a doubt the stronger brand lol

How old ARE you guys?
OP - when you graduate from high school, consider reading up and talking to some actual working professionals about your implied sense of brand and difference across the Firms.
One of key consulting skill is to ask better questions. Think you could use some help in the area.
M8 just showing that McKinsey culture. He/she was advising F100 companies on strategy at the age of five.. always asking the right questions
Big4 Audit get one one client and ride that wave for years selling the same project with decent WLB. Consulting (MBB) you will have horrible WLB with having to find new projects consistently.
Also Accenture vs McKinsey are two totally different types of consulting MBB is going to be strategy while Accenture is closer to big 4 consulting or implementation company
to give a publicly known example, us and the gates foundation. we’ve been doing work for them for decades

You think Big4 has a stronger brand than MBB?
Big 4 Audit didn’t destroy middle class
Im certain countries partners at big4 make way more than mbb - they’re much larger firms. It also likely takes much longer to make partner there.
Both M1/M2 are not making sense (M partner here)
1) Having been a M partner in both US and non US, I don’t think I have been in a market where Big 4 partner get paid more than MBB partner (assuming all things equal - like YOE, seniority)
2) Yes, there are some SP in M that make 10M, but that is by far the exception and not the norm. From my own estimate, there is maybe 1-2 people who’s at that level
Big4 doesn’t pay as much. Yes, much bigger, but they also have thousands and thousands more partners. Plus overall per diems are much lower. Anyways… can’t beat Deloitte!
P2, that’s right! And P3, sorry you don’t understand it.
Consulting 100%, no idea why you’d want to be in Audit in the first place, no offense.
