Staff to partner ratio Big 4 Consulting vs. MBB
Hi, I have heard that the staff to partner ratio for the consulting divisions of the big 4 is a bit above 14. Does anybody have an idea what this ratio is for the MBB? From the number of MBB partners on LinkedIn linked to even the smallest offices, I get the feeling that this number is lower. Can anybody confirm this?
At my firm it's (according to 5 seconds of research by counting names in the online directory) almost exactly 1:8 (13%). That's (# of partners):(# of non-partner consulting track staff) i.e. it excludes topic experts, senior advisors etc. who are also arguably fee-earning staff.
1:15 ratio sounds about right. For more profitable teams (e.g. typically large project sizes such as in advisory), then you might have a better ratio.
Depends on which Big Four firm you look at, business line etc. Big Four firms in the US are running about 1:11 to 1:15 and McKinsey is running about 1:12.
