Consultant is much more independent, developing how to do the work vs. executing as asked. More likely to get senior client exposure, as well.

Any talk of going down the McKinsey route? I.e. associate straight to PL?

Care to elaborate? Just seems strange to me that BCG’s main competitor offers the faster promo track, and BCG don’t even discuss it. They really have the same levels already.

Different expectations in terms of thought leadership, client interaction skills, ability to get to insight, etc. I’ve had incredibly sharp As, but still none I’d feel comfortable dropping straight into a PL role at much less than 4yrs total experience.
