I worked an MBB-level consulting firm and at a boutique. On balance, I was way happier at the boutique: the work was more interesting, the hours were better, and the culture more collegial / less toxic. The pay was a bit lower, but was still good, especially relative to the hours worked and the stress. More often than not, I was excited to come to work and work on a new project (the complete opposite of my experience at the MBB-level firm). The reasons I left the boutique were: 1) I wanted to leave consulting and figured I'd have better exit options coming from a more prestigious firm and 2) project volume was starting to slow (I spent too much time 'on the beach' between projects), which made me worried for my job security (as it turns out a bunch of people got laid off a few months after I left).

Great video! Finally someone who take a critical approach to explain things and tell the story from both perspectives instead of being biased!

Phenomenal video, you have quite the way with words!

I'm not willing to sell my soul for a piece of paper. Big consulting firms are the quintessence of the worst things going on in society
@ster2600
MBB firms' commitment to shareholders? McKinsey and Bain do not have shareholders; they are partnerships.

You referenced 'Empire of Pain' - well, you should should also read 'When McKinsey comes to Town' - eye opening to say the absolute very least.

I have a second interview at PwC for the market analysis and I am flopping with going with it.

Hello, thanks for the insights. I would like to share my opinion on this. I have been working in science for 4 years and planning to apply for consulting firms in the next few weeks. I have done research and think that my top target would be MBB for the reasons you have said in the video. I have also seen negative comments about MBB and how the whole consulting industry is just a waste of society’s money and time. For me, I quite like travelling and want to experience different industries. This probably will last for a few years after I join consulting firm and find out what industries interest me. That doesn’t mean that I don’t know what I like. I actually have always had an idea about what i want to do. But i don’t know what i don’t know and consulting seems like a great place for me to explore different things. Also just a question, if MBB are so bad and lots of people hate them, how have they continued to survive for years, 100+ years for McKinsey for example? Maybe this is more of a personal preference where some people like the type of pressure and diversity of work that MBB offers?
