The stats aren’t super meaningful, because it’s not random. Your performance determines your fate. For associates, the answer is “very low.” For consultants, the answer is “a discernible minority.” Decisions tends to come at ~2 year mark.

Also, being counseled our isn’t that bad. You get paid for a few months just to job hunt, have access to a ton of career support, and will have developed a bunch in the meantime

Yes, support is great. There’s no secret sauce. Perform well, develop people, earn partner support, etc

Your experience prior to joining the firm is irrelevant. Your performance in those 1-2 years will determine that

It does seem as though BCG offers great support. Seems like BCG uses CRA? How does one best survive and surpass the 2 year mark? Genuinely speaking, if I get into BCG. I would love to at least get to the 5 year mark...
