We're wasting other people's time here as well as our own. Yes BTO stands for business technology office. And no, it doesn't make Mck a strategy/technology firm. If you don't understand that the basic nature of consulting work that is done at mck and BAH are very different, then there's nothing more to be gain by jousting.
Getting back to the chap's original question, should I take a summer job at mck or booz...after all this blah blah blah I stand by my first response:
"booz vs mck summer job? ARE YOU NUTS?"
Take the mck position. Even you agree with me.

I'm at an airport and have time to waste. For those of you who don't, feel free not to read on.
I wish you would explain to me the difference in the "basic nature of consulting work" at Mck. I admit that I don't know, since I've only been at Mck for 5 years (2 prior to MBA; 3 since). We do in fact position ourselves as problem-solvers in various arenas -- strategy, ops, tech, etc. So it's not inaccruate to say Mck is a strategy/technology consulting firm.
I think you're confusing strategy-tech firms like DiamondCluster (which focus purely on technology strategy) with BAH, which, from what I understand, has two distinct and very sequestered branches (commercial strat and tech). This is the idea I had hoped to convey to the original poster.
As you say, perhaps this isn't the optimal forum to discuss this. Why not give me your contact info and we can talk further "offline"?
