Pros besides WLB: get to build expertise on a topic / industry, increasing focus on IP development (not just research support for case teams), career path is not ‘up or out’ like consulting track

likehelpful

Pros - Less travel Cons - Slower career growth (assuming your goal is to be MD/Partner)

Is the salary comparable? Also, can you comment on wlb and hours? Is it a step down or lateral move from consulting?

Within BCG it’s very unusual to move from the consulting team to the knowledge team except at very senior leadership levels. Completely different comp structure (lower base and bonus) since it’s not a consulting team role. Also no path to partner. However much better WLB and low travel compared to the consulting roles

smart

Thanks P1 - this is super helpful and informative!
