isn't measured by revenues!!!
+ if you are a prospective applicant: be very carefull about roland berger. they are #2 by revenues and that's the only thing they're #2 in
in my opinion the situation is like this in germany:
top: mcg and bcg on the same level
then: others (berger, bain, booz, monitor...), with bain already having a good name but only sometimes competing with bcg and mck. somehow it seems like bain has lost its momentum (which they had) over the last one or two years
conclusion: i agree with panda with being very sceptical about this approach (higher pay)
p.s. in pe bain isn't as strong in germany (compared to e.g. the united states)

well top 3 certainly isnt measured by some feeling you have in your gut about the company you work for :P
same as to equating mck and bcg.
lets just not get into that kind of generic comparing game. i'm more interested in talking about hard facts.
and money talks. at least it does to me at night. ;)
i think it all comes down to your specific experience and needs. so me personally i'm interested in pe/vc stuff.
pe business in germany generally is weak at all consulting companies, even though it has increased significantly in the last years. point is: working in germany will only get me the occasional pe project at any of those companies. but with bain i have a more guaranteed possibility to work for their boston pe practice during the formal exchange programs which do not exist at mck/rb/bcg. actually i dont know about bcg, but i know mck/rb have no formal exchange programs.
i would agree though that if you are eying german industry exit opps then its more mck/bcg/rb (although - sorry - rb does have an edge in corporate restructuring).
