I might frame “comp” as more about steeper career trajectory, which is the real driver of why comp will be better

Good luck

They also didn't seem to care as much about the "why BCG?" as I expected. My office knew a fair bit about my last employer and probably could have guessed "I'm tired of working for mean nincompoops" was a factor 🕵️‍♀️🔎🔎🔎

I think you present it just like that. I’ll be re-applying to mckinsey as well for the exact same reasons. Hopefully see you on the other side.

Just jumped from another firm to BCG with a very similar profile before BCG. Definitely don’t mention comp- talk about the types of work, the culture, the development opportunities etc. interviews are about telling a story and painting a positive picture
