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).

work at mck and bcg is done in their corp fin teams... which are highly regarded by pe firms when applying
exchange programs do exist, i don't know how they compare to bain.
okay, in restructuring rb is top. i don't count it as strategy consulting though (you have to do it once to see how it works and that's enough)
