Applying to an associate role at BCG. Should I submit a cover letter? I’ve been at my current company for a year and a half, hoping to come in as a senior associate if that’s possible

But should OP submit a cover letter...?

No cover letter. SA exists in US for laterals with 2-3 years work exp. Honestly though, don’t push for SA. Comp is a bit higher but so are expectations. Do you really want to be measured against dyed in the wool second year BCG Associates? Starting from scratch, the 20 month raise is to $100k+ and 24 month promo is to $150k. Just switching to BCG has huge NPV upside. Being 6-12 months ahead on tenure is small potatoes

No such thing as senior associate in US

Thanks! That was great BCG3!

Oh thanks, BCG1!

It’s a role which does exist in the US - don’t listen to BCG1

Does an associate in The US have to submit a cover letter if he wants to come in as a senior associate not in the US?

How many bcg’er does it take to...

What's the difference in pay gor BCG associates vs seniors? Making 105k as a senior right now at a big 4. Do I really need to come at a lower salary? Is it wise?

Has anyone had any experience with Water Street Partners for lateral recruiting? Reached out to me cold with a few ideas and I’ve had two follow up emails and a call with an MD at reputable banks, but it all seems very sketchy. For instance an “HR Specialist” reached out to me to set up a call, but when I look her up on LinkedIn she’s a IB VP. The MD I spoke to named a few other people he was going to have reach out, but haven’t heard from either of them. Just doesn’t feel like a normal process

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
