I’m at BCG Toronto, but fwiw the Montreal office has a great reputation for having the nicest MDPs and senior leaders. Great people developers and they run their cases very well.

OP - if you want to join as a generalist, you need to be ready to do a couple of non-digital cases even if you get hired in to DAS (our digital office, still part of core practice). I joined as a DAS consultant and have been doing mostly digital transformation cases, but have had to do a couple of non digital cases to prove that I’m a generalist, not a specialist.

You can join as a specialist but it’s much slower promotion cycle

Is this a good idea? A searchable database of men who belong in the ‘men are trash’ category. This would be for men who are guilty of high crimes against women - STDs, violence, theft, being married, hiding kids, cheating.
There’s a platform where women can submit the name of the man that hurt them, evidence of the hurt and it can be verified and the names of the men will come up, the grievance that was verified but no details.

Do I have a chance with MBB?

I’m currently working at a management consultancy (approx. 5000 employees) in the data division (in the UK).

I consider myself to be a top performer and was recently promoted from the grad scheme after 1 year at the firm (compared to average 1.5-2 years). I also have an offer for similar role at big4.

Is it worth applying as an experienced hire for MBB? I didn’t go to a target university so I’m wondering how I can maximise my chances in applying.

Thanks!

Question for BCGer: I am not clear about how to compare promotion timelines with McK/Bain.

My understanding of the promotion timeline is the following:

Consultant to PL -> 21 (if you were an A at BCG) to 30 months

PL to Principal -> Minimum 45 months of tenure as a C+PL

Principal to Partner -> 21 months of Principal tenure, but can only promote in Jan or May (?)

Partner to MDP -> Absolutely no clue how this works

This might be all wrong, so super happy to be corrected.
