Boston Consulting Group peeps, I have a call with a BCG recruiter tomorrow regarding a role. I want to get ahead of the questions on salary/comp range and title (associate or senior associate?). I have 6 YOE in industry at fortune 100s and now over 1 year at a big 4 firm as a consultant. What comp and title should I be asking for? Many thanks.

Honestly it doesn’t really matter. The progression at BCG is super fast. The key is to get in… I think you need to over index on why BCG is right for you and ask pertinent questions. Even if you come in as a SA, you will be up for promotion to a C in a year or so, and PL 2 years after that.

With 6 YOE you should be considered for consultant, our post mba role, which has a base of 175 and a bonus range of 12.5-25%, along with a signing bonus and 401k contribution

like

You will not be able to negotiate any part of your comp except maybe the signing bonus. It is standardized across cohorts

Role would be based in Chicago if that helps your calculus.

You should target Senior Associate at minimum. If you have a history of promotions and/or are acting as a manager, you could push for Consultant.

Rough total comp is:
- Associate: 100-110k
- Senior Associate: Unsure
- Consultant: ~200k

Believe senior associate comp is closer to associate than consultant (maybe 120-130?).

Its 175, potentially up to 230

Is leveling determined pre or post interview? And are you required to apply to both Asc/C roles if you’re unsure of the level?

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
