100% a back office role, regardless of how people in recruiting or in Kt roles try to spin it. Agree to avoid at all costs

Can be up to 100% client facing but half pay of a consultant w no resources to succeed. Avoid.

Back office scrub. Run as far away as you can if your goal is to be a consultant.

Theoretical question: would it be wise to take the position as a springboard to land MBB, and then apply to either McK or Bain (or even internally BCG) for a consulting opening? Would it increase your chances to get there?

Unfortunately not (I can only speak to BCG). Many try every year in this backdoor method but only a handful actually make it, and even those have a background that would have at the very least gotten them an interview during standard consulting recruiting

Any advice, thanks!
