New grad - McKinsey, Digital consultant vs no name mid size company, as Software Engg.

Jun 12, 2021 20 Comments

Got an offer for both McKinsey and as software engg. for a midsize(270) company. My concern with McKinsey is two folds,

1. The travel
2. WLB

Sure I can spend the next 1 or 2 years travelling every week with crunch time not being much of an issue, but I would like to settle down in one place eventually and maybe even switch to traditional SWE in the long run moving further on.

I really don't know a lot about McKinsey apart from what I read on reviews, Blind, so kinda confused and scared it I might be losing a lot of I chose McKensie/ giving up a lot if I choose the Software engg. Job.

Appreciate any thoughts/input.

Base - 90 vs 78k


Edit - name of the company, geez.

Final update - Gonna go with McKinsey as an Analyst - Software engg. Thank you everyone for your input, appreciate it.
