How's the work-life balance at BCG Platinion? Is it better than core BCG? Interviewing for a role and trying to see if it's the right organisation for me. Thanks

I was rejected by A&M for a PEPI role a few months ago, and today I heard from a recruiter. What gives? I’m assuming they may have recently laid too many off?

Looking at a Transformation Consultant role with CGS Advisors - does anyone have input in regards to what kind of salary/compensation to expect? Also would be very grateful for any kind of referrals!

Anyone @KPMG able to discuss the role of Senior Director/Executive Director, Organizational Change Management Center of Excellence (“COE”)? I'm considering applying for it, and will be talking with tax partner former student of mine in a few days to discuss.

I reconnected with a company I previously interviewed with simply to network because my current role isnt working out.

The person I was speaking to (whom I trust) basically suggested I move into industry and find a product owner role, which I agreed with.

He then offered a couple suggestions of very reputable financial services orgs that he has connections with and could introduce me.

I'm super grateful and think it would be an incredible opportunity , but I'm hesitating and idk why...

A referral is just to land the interview right? After that it doesn’t really matter? Specifically for Google.

Anyone familiar with KPMG’s introduction call? I received a referral a few days ago and I received a email for a intro call from the employee referral team. Anyone know what I should expect?

Does MBB, when hiring experienced professionals, have an entry level position slightly above campus hire entries, or is it all the same level?

I.e., is there a “Sr. Business Analyst” or “Senior Associate” role at MBB, similar to the “Consultant I” (campus hire) vs. “Consultant II” (experienced hire) at some T2/B4

How does everyone look for exit opportunities? Besides obviously networking and coming across job opportunities, what websites are used nowadays?

Can anyone provide me a referral to Grant Thornton?

Anyone else stuck in a role they don’t enjoy while working to get their own business started? Devoting energy and focus to something you don’t enjoy (for the paycheck) while being forced to put your passion on the back burner during the day is really weighing..

Rejected by a company without referral, should I apply again if I get a referrall?

Does anyone work at upland software or given an interview for the company? Any idea about their interview process for Product Owner role ?

Struck out at MBB/T2 for FT MBA recruiting. Didn’t get many interviews which seems to be a theme for many classmates (tough cycle). Is there any hope of getting a post-MBA consulting gig in the spring? Will firms consider me for JIT Experienced Hiring positions?

Recently terminated. Question about separation benefits. I was asked to sign an agreement to get the benefits. I had 45 days to sign it and revoke it within 7 days, if needed. But, I signed it earlier than that and then repented .When I asked HR if I can revoke it and sign it later, they said yes. I was redirected by exit team to ask for a new link for the agreement. I have been emailing the team several times, but, no response. What could be going on?

I am looking for a referral at Alvarez and Marsal in their NY office and also hoping to ask a couple of questions via chat. I am interested in applying for a strategy consultant position at A&M. If any fishes at @alvarez and marsal willing to give me a referral, please let me know. Thank you!

Hoping for a referral for guidehouse?

Just curious. Some years ago I got a referral by partner at PWC, someone I actually knew, they knew me, a real referral. I was also local to the location. I never even got an interview. I realize this is pure speculation, but any insights as to why?

Good exit ops from Strategy & Ops at Uber?

Any folks at BCG know the difference between Senior Associate and Associate Consultant? What position shd someone with 1YOE + Masters be eligible for ?

Looking for a new job after being for Deloitte as an SC for 1.5 years and being with prior consulting firm for 7 years (8.5 YOE). I’m not up for promotion until next year but not willing to stay that long as an exp hire to *maybe* get M.

What big 4 or other large firms would be willing to interview an SC for a Manager role? My initial call with a couple recruiters made it sound like most only will do lateral until I’m M (even though I manage teams and BD).

Is a Director at Gartner strategy consulting equal to a Senior Manager at Accenture or a Manager at a Big 4 ? Seems like their Associate Director is equal to a Manager at Accenture. Can anyone offer some insights into their Associate Partner role?

Requesting a referral to All-State please!

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Been missold a role on a project. What can I do? I’m a data governance practitioner. They didn’t tell me the role, but I only found out on day 1 during a call with client when they introduced me as a “data lead”. They are building some architecture for a CRM system, and my project manager keep saying “your the data person” to me about anything with the word data during discussions, whether it’s datalake, real/time data, integrations etc. (more in comments)

I’m resentful that I didn’t get the manager promotion I was shooting for. I had multiple partners and directors support my case, but I was informed due to the economic state of the firm there were less spots available. I am having a hard time focusing and having to push for another 6 months for another shot at getting promoted. I know I want to get out of consulting, but would you stay for the promotion in the hopes of better exit ops? Or should I apply and look to leave now?

Looking for a referral to KPMG. I have experience as a BA within the life science R&D industry assessing technology interoperability and capability.

When are most consulting firms hiring the most for experienced? Q1?

Hello. Anyone willing to be a referral to Gartner?

Would you decline a Senior Knowledge Analyst Client Facing- Knowledge Team offer at BCG for a Senior Consultant role at Deloitte? I have heard mixed opinions about Knowledge Teams.

About how many people are interviewing for one specific role at 1 time at an organization? Specifically BCG knowledge teams.

Hi all, I received an offer with another company and wanted to ask how I would go about speaking to my manager leaving/asking for a counter offer. The new role is in another location and I would really prefer if I didn’t have to move, but my current salary is way below market average. I would be happy if I could get a counter offer (the new offer is 60% higher my current salary) with my current company but don’t know how I should have this conversation. Thanks in advance!
