In Reply To: hehehe... I appreciate you watching my back when I'm away, TCO, but I do have to say that when I'm recruiting, I want to see that somebody has studied the firms enough to notice the differences between BCG, Bain, and McK (preferably without being told). The culture, operating policies, client work, approach, etc. are quite different. I suspect that BCG and Bill Bain parted ways for more than just trivial reasons.
Message: MBB are very similar trees when comaperd to the universe of "plants". And I don't really buy that there are "McK types" or "Booz types" or whatever. That is just MBA overanalysis. I could give a shit if someone even knows what the hell McK is when I interview. I care about their case performance.
