Monitor Deloitte vs OW/RB/ATK in Europe

Question

Hi everyone,

I recently got a FT offer at Monitor Deloitte in western Europe. They seem to be growing very fast since Deloitte's acquisition, hours are ok, pay is above the market, and the opportunity to focus on pure strategy projects seems very attractive.

Ah, the 6-month internship may be complicated.

As for rankings, I honestly have no clue as they all seem to vary hahaha. I tend to use Vault.com and they tend to love LEK and consistently rank it high (then again, this ranking puts Emerton, a small Belgian almost no-name boutique, above Marakon in Europe so I don't know how they compile it).

I also heard the smaller proportion of strategy that ATK does so you'll have to dig in well. RB is a similar to MBBs in style of work and breadth of industries.

Germany - yes RB is bigger, they are German. However, if you've read some German sites on the latest in Beratung world, you'll see that they have also had troubles in their home market. And I've read quite a few German discussions proposing OW as the best non-MBB firm, and they seemed well-reasoned. I read elsewhere that in DACH, McK=BCG>RB>=Bain. Sounds about right.

France - I just spent some days in Paris. I would expect there to be a steep drop-off from MBB in Paris.

Then if possible structure it in a way where you could do the internship (I'm assuming its a summer one) and then start the full time so if you don't convert to FT, no worries but if you do you can cancel the Monitor contract. You'll burn that bridge but hey, life choices.

If you're risk averse and are tired of the whole application period then perhaps you may want to take the FT.

Don't expect to work on only 'pure strategy' projects @ Monitor Deloitte (I used to work there). The reality of all consulting firms nowadays including MBB is to sell what clients are buying, which happens to be operational strategy / transformation mostly - less so 'blue sky' strategy work like in the past.
