Anyone from BCG care to share insight into the Knowledge Teams at BCG? Was reached out to regarding a SKA role on a knowledge team. I have a tech consultant background. How’s the work? Comp? General thoughts?

Can't say this strongly enough: Don't do it!

You're treated as a second class citizen at best, comp at the SKA level is below the entry level Associate comp on the consulting side, and career development is quite slow.

Seems like the best benefit is just the brand name on the resume. Definitely underpaid and seems like the SKA roles can also have tough hours at times.

I think everyone at BCG has tough hours.

I have $100K liquid cash over and above maxing out 401K, HSA, College fund, investments in Index funds and emergency fund. I plan to leave $25K for contingency. Of the $75K is it wise if I purchase I bonds worth $30K (myself, spouse, kid)? Current combined rate is 9.62 Does anyone foresee the interest rate drastically reducing? I don’t intend to cash them out before 5 years.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
