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

Which location and role ?
Whatever you are getting is also fine considering the brand, but go for the push, you never know.
