@EY1 At BCG there are 5 main groups that do work in technology / digital:
+ TA - IT strategy and digital transformation
+ Digital Ventures - innovation & technology incubation
+ Gamma - Big data & analytics as a part of project work, eg using advanced analytics to inform strategy OR building an MVP customized product
+ Maya - Product development
+ Platinion - IT implementation
These are all separate hiring pipelines today, with Gamma being among the fastest growing.

Machine learning :)

Interview process is similar to generalist track in terms of rigor, but (based on what I’ve heard) can also include additional items like a take-home data science portion

It’s pretty good

Yeah it’s pretty good

Comp and travel are ~similar to the generalist track. Work life balance is BCG, but otherwise good :)

How are benefits?

Pretty unbelievable health benefits

Yes and zero cost to you to add yourself, spouse, etc. Definitely our best perk as a firm

Btw which group is BCG gamma? Is it something internal facing?

Ok. Thanks bcg2

Yes, ML is within the scope of what they do

Same interview process?

ML = Machine Learning

BCG2 i think this has been asked earlier? What kind of projects are done by TA in digital space.. do they tackle ML projects as well? I saw some job posting in digital transformation. Are there overlaps and or do they jointly do the projects with BCG gamma?

Those who have returned to a law firm from being in-house - what was your experience like? If you hated a firm the first time, was it better the second time around? I swore I’d never go back, but seeing the newest round of BigLaw raises and salary increases I am genuinely considering it - I’m getting married and planning for kids shortly, and would like to buy a home in our HCOL city, and while I’m not starving on my in-house salary and am fairly frugal, I don’t feel like we have much cushion.
