13 ways in which the McKinseys and BCGs differ from the Accentures and Sapients
Before we get into any comparisons, lets define some categories. The big four are not necessarily big nor are there just four of them. For the sake of this discussion, lets say they are so called because of their reputation and type of high pr ofile work they do. Examples – McKinsey, BCG, Bain & Co, Mercer, Monitor Group etc. So who are the others? They can be boutique consultancies ranging from a sole practitioner to around a dozen consultants. Then there are small consultancies that have between 10 to 50 consultants. Next are the medium consultancies employing between 50 and 500, and finally, the large consultancies that have 500+ consultants. The table below gives you some comparative answers if you are thinking of a consulting career. Comparison Between Consultancy Firm Types
So in conclusion, just the big four should not be your be all and end all in terms of career choice. Depending on your background, your aspirations and your competencies, you may well want to consider working for the other 250,000+ consultancies around the globe. While “Big Four” offers high salaries and glamour, their hiring criterion is very stringent. But don’t dishearten yourself as a variety of interesting consulting projects are done by other thousands of consulting firms around the globe. In addition to that, more jobs will be created in small to medium consulting segment post recession. If you feel that you have the potential to be creative and not afraid of high-pressure work, consider a consulting career. The salaries are high and your growth potential will be even higher.

According to one report, there are between 250,000 to 500,000 management consultancies in the world. Yet, as soon as we mention Management Consulting, immediately the ‘Big Four’ comes to mind. But what about the other consulting firms in the world? What kind of work do they do? What type of careers do they offer? What are their growth prospects? What do they look for in new hires? Guest Writer Saibal Sen dissects.
