Vault.com: the most trusted name in career information

Vault Message Board: McKinsey & Company

Topic Name: McKinsey in decline?
Message Name: You are detached from reality
Date Posted: 02/27/2006
In Reply To: I too would prefer hiring a Deloitte, Accenture, etc. guy / girl who's not afraid to roll up the sleeves, step into the mud and actually get things done. Sure, smartness is important... but I could care less if a potential recruit is in top 1% or top 10%. Results are what count.
Message: Accenture, IBM BCS, Booz WTB (majority of Booz business)and most of Deloitte Consulting are technology/IT implementation houses. They do 'staff' level work. M/B/B are strategy firms, doing board-room level 'line' work. You obviously manage the local burger drive-in and only care about how fast one can flip a beef patty. F500 folks look for slightly different skillsets and backgrounds.
