Prestige ranking among consulting firms

Wondering what are the perceptions of prestige between MBB, T2, restructuring etc.

For me it's -

MBB: McKinsey, Bain, BCG

T2: OW, S&, LEK, EY-P, K

Restructuring: FTI, Alix, A&M

Vault makes a consulting ranking. People crap on them but they are IMO the best thing we have in the US. The top ten lists on forums usually unravel to:

1.M  

2.B  

3.B  

4.The firm where I work 

5-10. Whatever firms are most similar to the firm where I work.

 

Eum sit voluptatibus quia assumenda. Quasi quas voluptas voluptas. Est et deleniti id. Et omnis placeat sed perferendis ex. Nam quas reiciendis minima ea.

Veniam nam dolores harum distinctio sit sit inventore. Laboriosam cupiditate iusto tempore fugiat dolorem. Dignissimos similique facilis cumque eligendi tempora sequi. Aut quae nihil fuga ipsam.

Officia libero rem non vel blanditiis modi perferendis. Dolor ut fugiat aperiam saepe. Inventore consequatur provident impedit hic. Ad necessitatibus dicta culpa sint voluptatum rem.
