Hello,
I can't seem to find too much info on OW as of recently. I'm just wondering how it compares to MBB in 2020, especially in terms of exit opps and comp. Also would love to hear about the culture there and lifestyle. Lastly, if anyone knows anything about OW's recruiting with regards to COVID-19 that would be helpful as well. Thanks for any input.
Comp is similar for first 2-3 years, then gap opens at Associate level and widens considerably at EM/Principal. Exit opps are good (midsize/large startups, financial institutions, MBA, etc) but seem driven more from personal searches than constant recruiter reach outs/exit support network that may be at MBB. Hours will typically be in the 55-65/week range; average project would be something like 9-9/10 M-Th and 9-5/6 F. Very strong culture, with main differentiating factors being: industry focus (most projects in financial services/healthcare/aviation/etc), tendency to specialize earlier, and focus on growing talent from analyst to partner (leading to the relative lower focus on exit opps, MBA, etc.)
