Sure. Size is one metric. Prestige is another McK>BCG>Bain>followed by others. But the way I judge consulting firms is: billing rate e.g., MBB is ~$1M/team month, while others are around 600ish (and staff larger teams vs. MBB). 2nd is who's your sponsor - again due to high billing rates and value, only CXOs have the budget to write checks while VPs (more like function heads) can get PwC, EY etc.
I had a straight-forward path. Undergrad from a top 10-20 school in India -> Worked for a few years ->MBA from top 10 USA ->McK. So pretty well versed with how firms position for recruiting etc. Had multiple offers from consulting firms when I was taking a call. FWIW, PwC invited to interview when I didn't even apply. Not to ding them or anything but such is the reality
This is online so I don't need to look like a champ, for all I know, I may be speaking with Ajit Doval
