At BCG in NA, does the track go: 2 years Associate (110 base then 130 base), then 2-3 years consultant (190 base for both yearsish), then PL promo. And is the promo from Associate to Consultant automatic?

What does the track look like at McK? I understand it’s a little variable with BA to EM paths?

At least 4 circles in this inferno:

1. Misery (BA > Sr BA > JEM)
2. Spirit crushing sorrow (JEM > Transition EM > EM)
3. Spiritual coma (EM > Sr EM > AP)
4. Soul demonized in fires of hell (AP > P) 😉

lol, couldn’t resist!

Sr BA, JEM or Junior EM, Transition EM are not official designations - they’re just ways to recognize when someone plays the role.

- Sr BA or Sr EM = tenured BA or EM
- JEM = coaching someone else who has their own workstream or work while you manage your own. Means jack-squat in NA developmentally, those titles in LinkedIn are useless lol
- Transition EM = Leading a team and EM’ing basically without the title, since McK makes you do this work for 6-12 months at least in NA before the Firm feels you now deserve the designation of EM. “Our bar is higher”

No freaking clue on above salaries. Exited as Associate (with McK in NA post MBA) and had hit the wonderful Transition EM stage by exit, when you’re paid exactly same as before for 2-4x the previous workload. Joyful 😹
