BCG 🐠: Finishing up my 2nd year at D and have a final round with BCG next week. Is it true that your associates make consultants after 2 years and then get bumped to $165k base salary?!

Agree with PL1 - better to forego tenure credit and make sure you’re set up for success. The transition is not always easy, and we have a pretty firm up or out, so why risk it for the sake of 6-12 months?

Yes. 2 years to promo (and 165k base) is median and mode.

A1 comp is 90k base + 10-20% bonus + 5% retirement on base and bonus with no vesting + basically free healthcare.

Answering your question behind the question (I hope): it will be to to your benefit to just start over in terms of tenure. That will give you lots of runway to show your stuff. Even though it might feel like a step back, you can see how it will actually be a huge leap ahead in short order.

Good luck

Case well. Everything else is secondary

Median promo timing for As is 24 months, yes

If you’ve got 2 years of experience, you might be able to push for “Senior Associate” instead of just Associate. I believe the C promotion comes at 12-18 months if you enter as a Senior Associate. Best of luck with the interview!

Can confirm from a friend who did this, though I imagine timing is that quick only for high performers

@Partner 1, and everyone once promoted gets that base salary? Does it start in like September or January the year after?

It starts upon promotion. If you started March of 2019, your paycheck in March of 2021 would be for the Consultant-level salary (currently the 165k you mentioned)

Yes

Interview coming up as well. Want to case practice? Also would love to hear how round 1 went

B1 - my point is exactly to NOT push for SA.

BCG folks on this thread - any last advice for my upcoming interview đŸ€žđŸŒ

I’ve been preparing a ton but so much to learn and a bit overwhelmed. Would really appreciate if anyone here is open to a short 10 minute call to share some guidance on making sure I prepare well for casing

I am currently unemployed (but looking) an opportunity to consult has potentially fallen into my lap. Before I shut it down for a lack of experience, I want to know if it's something that I can even do. It's a very very small company, not even 3 FTE. But they are looking for someone to come in, create a Handbook(I can do that), provide benefits, etc.

Is that difficult to implement? I can't imagine it being so, but I don't want to set myself up to fail.
