Would you take less money to get Bain, McKinsey, or BCG on your resume?

6 YOE with background in product and go-to-market strategy for digital products. I have an offer from one of the big 3 and a tier 1 bank.

There’s about a 40K difference in base salary. how prestigious is getting one of the big three on your résumé? Ultimate goal is to become a General Manager.

If your doing hands on tech work and enjoy it- you probably won’t be happy going to MBB because your going to be making slides about products - not making products.

Big four experience…EY and KPMG.

I would not take that kind of hit for a brand name after 6YOE, I think that kind of move makes sense fairly early in your career with ~10-15K cut. 40K is a lot of money, but this is just my opinion and may not be what others in the bowl may suggest.

Assuming that bonus structure is basically % of base pay, 10% of 190 is also higher bonus

Well not sure what your base is but seems pre-mba? So dont forget that the comp trajectory is pretty fast at MBB… i went from 200 TC to 400 in 3.5 years or so

Any reason why?

190k with the bank all day. I've worked at bank and consulting and the wlb is far, far better at bank.
