don’t come in with a canned framework. Honestly I think bcg dislikes that more than coming up with something organically but totally messing up the answer

like

No no you should create a framework for sure, but specific and customized to the case you are given. Not something ripped from your bschool textbooks. And yes def aim for a more cooperative thought partner type dynamic

like

Digital - customer experience - marketing coupled with offshoring production. Location instead number of stores. Low physical overhead. Pay above market rates for people. Interactive merchandising

@M1 lol thats a given. Reliable/applicable framework, KPIs to remember, something more specific?

Thanks @BCG1, so better to go for a dynamic/honest cooperative conversation than waste time with a framework? I ask bc I think thats the vibe Im getting from the interviewers but this was not what McK and Bain wanted when I spoke with them a few years ago

Got an offer from a secondaries group in a PE firm in SF (<1B latest fund). Had 200 all-in comp in consulting (80%+ coming from base) and bumping up to 230 soon. PE firm is offering 120 base + 90 bonus for Associate position. Does this transition make sense if I ultimately want to become an investor / work in PE? Goal was traditional PE, but no luck there so far with interviews. Also not sure if offer $ is in typical ballpark of what you can expect in MM PE in SF?
