@ BCGers & Bainies - Making a comparison between BCG and Bain offers. Need to verify one quote I got from recruiter - "at Sr Manager level, profit sharing comes into picture as additional compensation over and abovr Fixed and Cash Bonus, at roughly 30% of Fixed". This seems to be pitched as added advantage over BCG comp as a PL. Skeptical about the claim as I assumee overall comp at any level in same geography will be similar across MBB. Is there any nuance to this?

Profit sharing exists on all levels but starting at Sr Mgr you get a payout every year.

Despite the profit sharing, BCG I believe pays slightly more in normal years

Overall BCG pays slightly better at all levels. BCG overall also has slightly better benefits, eg. business class for flights over 1.5hrs.

You can expect profit sharing to pull you above BCG comp that's correct. ~25-30% of base is about right at SM1 on a good/typical year.

In APAC it comes in at Sr Manager and is set at 50% to 90% of your cash bonus depending on performance.

Additionally when does anything similar to Profit Sharing starts coming into picture at BCG? Any insights on this will be helpful...

Thanks SM1 and B1 for this, though a bit confused since you have commented opposite.. would it be a factor of which system we are discussing?

Just for better context, the system is South East Asia
