Mckinsey Singapore vs OW/Booz NY vs Bernstein NY
Hi all,
Just looking for help in deciding my preferences here. Unfortunately Mck NY is not willing to interview me.
My friends in Mck Singapore have informed me that getting staffed on projects in NY is uncommon and moving from Singapore to NY within Mck is again not very common.
Is it very difficult to move from Booz to Mck within NY? How much importance should i give to geography vs reputation?
Also how about Bernstein NY? I love investing and long term would love to move to a PE/long short fundamentals investing fund - should i start my career at a strong ER house then? Does the ER experience trump the networking/brand name advantages of the consulting offers?
I would go for McKinsey Singapore. Best brand out there in consulting. Once you go to business school you can go to PE.
Information that may be useful to you: McK Singapore pays its 1st-years a base comp of US$65-70k, with a bonus of another US$5-15k. Slightly lower than BCG and Bain, but I guess the name kinda makes up for it?
Mck Sg.
I'd go NY
Obviously Bernstein if you wanna do longshort...
Mck Sg or Bernstein if u want to do ER in the future and stay in NY.
Mck. Best Brand by far.
Thanks a lot guys - so its narrowed down to Mck Singapore vs Bernstein
I think McKinsey Singapore.
EDIT: Sorry about your loss, Arya.
Working in Singapore for a few years sounds pretty good.
Out of curiosity, what hiring cycle are you on? I've never heard people making decisions in June - unless you're a lateral hire of course.
Is this post-MBA? Like wsib1, I had heard that McK Singapore wasn't taking applications for their undergrad/masters roles, though that was through a secondary source.
@Jiggy/wsib1 - Yes I will be a lateral hire
