BCG X Boston Consulting Group

Hi! How does AI engineer case interview differ from the standard system design/ML system design?

I'm preparing for the AI engineer technical case interview rounds and I'm trying to find more sample cases to prep but everything online seems like it's more geared towards those recruiting for the standard consulting track. Thank you in advance for any insights/advice!

What is a fair salary for a NYC data engineer with 1-2 years of experience?

Currently an engineer in MCOL area with 4 years experience (post graduating, not counting experience before/during college and large side gigs). I have a BS/MS/PhD in engineering and an MBA in business analytics. Currently making 100k as an engineer IV. As an engineer with a functional knowledge (but no former training) in IT and data analytics, what are the best avenues to get to 200k without changing fields and starting at an entry level position (or moving to a HCOL area)?

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

Sober and Vegan a year and 4 months now. Feeling great and more creative than ever

AA meetings on or near campus?

I am a Digital marketer with almost 2 years of experience.
I recently joined a new company in Feb 2022, with in hand a Salary of INR 35000/month.

My boss thinks I waste my time researching the client's business and ways to grow it all day and I don't do much work. I ran campaigns on Facebook ads manager, Google ads, and keyword research for blogs & e-commerce, Analyze campaigns & optimize them regularly.

Still, my boss is not convinced that I am working worth 35000.

What should I do?

Hi Fishes !

I don't own any and it hurts.

Curious in seeing what people's avg cost basis is in this, when you purchased, and why?

Hi fishes,

What type of questions can be expected in a managerial round for a data scientist role.

What companies in India only take about 2-3 rounds of interview? Which companies have the quickest interviewing process in India?

(Especially for Data analyst / Data science roles)

Anyone purchased a timeshare? How does it work and how do you like it?

Looking for advice: would you stay in partner pipeline at Big 4 or move to one of the MBBs as a principal? I am hearing that with Big 4 getting into strategy more, MBBs will be obsolete soon thoughts?

Hello,

I am trying to see what is the average salary for a business analyst with a year experience in a medical device company. I am in the bay area.

Just curious are there any EAs in the Las Vegas, NV area and what are your salaries?

What is salary range of lead associate in EYGds?

Applied to McKinsey as an experienced hire in the first week of December. Any insight on potential / average timeline for hearing back in the current climate?

BCG versus McK for digital consulting? If we are looking broadly at the digital transformation space, then what are some of the strengths of each of firm as well as any glaring drawbacks?

Looking at Forrester, they are both leaders in the space, but it would be helpful to understand the perception of each.

How is performance measured at MBB?

What is the perception of a McKinsey solution role that is a CSP? Can I exit to tech? Would the role be better than the T2 role I have now?

McK 🐠 can you work in PEPI practice in any office? Anyone in PEPI in the Midwest offices willing to chat? I’m currently in a T2 firm PE practice.

Hi fish - I have a referral for bcg - do I ask the colleague to send in the referral before or after submitting my application?

Got rejected from McK after one final round interview didn’t go well. When can I reapply? I was being considered for a post-MBA role. Super bummed

Does the location of your MBA program limit which office you can recruit too? I want to work at MBB in NYC and have an admit to Stern and Ross however Ross is providing an 80k scholarship. I’d like to take this scholarship but I really have a desire to be in NYC post mba.

How much does McK pay for experienced hire BAs? US if it matters. Tried looking online but could only find the campus hire BA pay. Is it the same as the experienced hire BA pay?

How long is the offcycle BCG interview process usually? This is for someone out of school and already working

Is it true that lateral hire BAs at Mck get 145 base?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

I understand that in most cases folks with <2 YOE will join with the same title as UG campus hires. How many YOE (or months of experience) will qualify you for a higher pay band (compared to campus hires)?

The answers might vary across firms and I’d appreciate if you can specify which one you are referring to - TIA!

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?

How is MBB Canada pay compared to US?

Does delaying my interview hurt my chances of getting an offer? Looking at how aggressively McKinsey is hiring, I’m afraid delaying interviews may put me at a disadvantage. On the flip side, I’m working pretty long hours at my current job so I don’t have a lot of prep time. Please advise!

What’s BCG X? How is it different from BCG Gamma and other tech oriented units?

Preparing for a Digital Associate position interview.

2. How complex are the phone case interviews?
3. Resources/ books/ YouTube channels I should be looking at?

This position would help me a lot at this point in life. Appreciate the help!!!

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?
