When deciding between two offers, what would you prioritize?

  1. Manager 2

    Be more specific about the increment. Assuming you make $100k, an extra $1k per year isn't worth 5 days in office vs remote or 3 day hybrid, but $50k would be worth it.

    Same pay but higher position/growth for in office

  2. Managing Director 1

    None of the above. Culture is the most important.

    “Go back to your PowerPoint” I see so that’s the culture you speak so highly of 🤡. I’m sorry, I don’t work with PPT. I oversee the 3rd party service providers, but I work with them as partners. 🤏

Death by a thousand layoff rounds. If the goal was to destroy trust, crush morale, and keep everyone looking over their shoulder, it’s a masterclass. McKinsey’s culture is at rock bottom

Sourcing some crowd wisdom. I have an IPhone 12 Pro Max. The battery is shot and so been contemplating getting a new 17 pro max. But people are telling me to wait till September when the new iPhone is released. Should I wait? I have some overseas personal travel coming up and would like a better phone camera and reliable battery but is it worth getting a new phone right now? Thoughts?

Morale at McKinsey feels like it’s at an all-time low. Ongoing layoffs have gutted internal teams, leaving those who remain fully checked out. Senior leadership seems totally disconnected, asking for updates from teams that were eliminated months ago. Consultants are more stretched than ever, leaving less time to develop the judgment, client skills, and problem solving that once defined the firm. This place is quickly becoming a relic of the past

I’m 33 and starting to feel like I’m aging out of consulting. This is a young man’s game and I now have 3 kids and am tired. Time to plot my exit to industry 🙂.
