Anyone has interviewed for BCG Gamma data scientist roles? How does it compare to the regular consulting path in terms of salary, hours, etc?

What is the salary progression?

Feel like you need some analytics to resolve the pay question.

Less prestigious, less pay, same hours

BCG is strategy. Gamma is BCGs way of not losing out strategy cases that require some form of advanced analytics to Accenture or Deloitte. They can now pitch full ownership of end-to-end solutions but Gamma is still years behind the market in data science/AI

Thanks! Looking at the range of answers it seems like the strategy consulting group has little visibility on BCG Gamma benefits :) I did have the feeling it was behind in terms of technology though...

If you are looking for same respect and responsibility of strategy as data scientist you will be unhappy in life—anywhere. On starship enterprise was jordy asking if people gave him same respect as Jean Luque Picard? Now and forever, there will always be a place for conciligiere, cheif engineer, cheif data dork...but separate and unequal to the captains chair. Make your peace with this or go be the captain “with a data background.” QED.

M1: QuantumBlack is part of McK Analytics, maybe someone from McK can give a more detailed answer

LinkedIn shows a significant number of lateral moves to Data Science roles back in industry. I’m sure work life balance and salary are enough justification for most

Gamma is absolutely not behind in tech. They are behind some players in scale, but not tech

Gamma has the same pay (more in fact at Associate level) and is driving some of the coolest cases here

I cannot seriously imagine anybody putting Deloitte in the same RFP as Gamma unless it was a top tier client getting the "A team" or it was an actuarial thing...

What are alternatives to BCG Gamma? Does mck have a dedicated AI group?

Difference quantumblack vs mck analytics ?

Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.
