BCG - much better prospects for your own personal development, much better exit opportunities, much better firm.

BCG is great, but why would you want to start over? I’d probably take the promotion

If you stay at BCG for 2 years, your comp jumps to 165...so future income should be considered

like

NO if it is a significant paycut from your current S&

Short term gains may be higher in S& (promo) but long term gains significantly higher in BCG - if you are planning on staying on for at least 2 years. If you are planning on doing an MBA within the next 1 year and not return to consulting then doesn’t make sense to start over. But if you are planning on doing an MBA and then returning to consulting BCG is a better idea

May depend on whether or not you think an MBA is in your near future.

BCG - same as your comp. the real diff comes in when you hit higher levels and have a faster time to principal / partner.

I feel the monetary comparison should be only a small aspect of your overall decision making. The softer aspects should be considered more because they will impact your personal growth, professional network, future exit opportunities, alignment with interests etc

Hey OP, What’s two years comp (post mba promo) at S&?

Depends on the value of your network and what you plan for long term.

@bcg1 currently Managers make $172k, but that might change after we adjust comp in response to your increase

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
