Bain (International office-EMEA) Vs. Tier II ( Strategy&,A.T.K, L.E.K,) in the U.S.A

Evaluating prospective options, the plan is to focus on 4 areas:

  1. Overall Consulting Experience-(client types, casework, travel, etc.)

  2. Promotion-(policies, time to partner etc.)

  3. Wealth Accumulation-(earning potential)

  4. Exit Ops

Two key questions:

  1. Other areas folks might consider important to factor?

  2. Any comments/perspective on the four areas based on folks experience or knowledge?

Thanks
