BCG recruiter just approached me about joining as a senior knowledge analyst. I feel like this is a poor match with my skill set ( MBA + 1 year in strategy consulting, 4 years in industry) two Qs:

Yeah I would stick with S& over BCG knowledge analyst. It’s a downgrade

And yes OP, we are hiring for regular consulting positions at associate, senior associate and consultant levels

If you're sick and tired of consulting, maybe consider it. Else it's a big fat "No".

Y'all trying to grow at a faster pace or growing experience hire ratio or both? I would imagine most Associates and Consultants levels can be filled with on-campus recruiting. No?

Must be because others from S& would take that role.

A) Am I reading this right ?
B) Is BCG hiring for regular consulting roles ? / should I try to pivot the conversation ?

Yup

BCGs recruiting team seems very poor and disorganized, try to pivot but the recruiter may not be responsible for or care about any areas other than their open roles

C1, doubt it. I get tons of stupid roles floated to me by recruiters all the timd

All the folks from S& that I know moved to BCG, moved to client facing roles. They basically were hired for subject matter depth (i.e a manager with tons of M and A experience or S.A. with operation strategy depth in a specific industry etc.)

OP did you ask about pivoting laterally? If so, did you hear back?

Messaged her back over the weekend and asked about pivoting to regular consulting - no response so far

I’m currently a tax accountant with 5 YOE. I want to move into a business analyst role I’ve applied for entry level positions (competition is wild) and willing to get certs. I have great hard and soft skills that should transfer pretty well. Any advice on getting the ball rolling? Should I get a mentor? I’ve seen a lot of layoffs too which kind of makes me wonder if it’s worth it.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
