Platinion is more specialized - former devs, solution architects etc. TA are traditional bcg consultants, but specialized in tech. Different career path and comp.

Platinion offer received, this post is greatly helpful. They definitely are targeting more tech strategy / architecture and to some degree transformation / implementation expertise

like

Got it. Do the two tend to go to market together, work on projects together, etc?

Sometimes yes. Definitely lot of TA projects without Platinion

Does anyone know if TA hires out of MBA?
My goal is to get into BCG TA or McK Digital so I'm wondering if it might be better to apply now or after MBA...

Yes TA hires out of MBA programs (but not exclusively, we’ll take industry hires too just like the traditional consulting track)

Does Platinion value MBAs as well or are they looking for more applied technical background?

I think the latter

Thanks Bs 1 and 2

So is TA looking for people with tech background(comp sci, dev people) or less tech background but in the tech space(more functional tech consultant, client facing, system implementation background)

Wow this was an amazingly great thread on platinion. Thanks guys. Short and to the point

D1 - campus recruiter or apply online?

D1 - my friend got an offer from them and was unimpressed with the pay. He was a mgr in big 4 and his salary was lateral for platinion.

What are your thoughts on the pay

Really? Mine is a 50% bump for lateral which is why i will Likely take it (and I’m not under compensated right now)
