Can someone explain the general difference in responsibilities/expectations between BCG Associate and Consultant? Current Senior at EY, no MBA and curious where I would fit in and comp also

No MBA you come in as an associate. There are some people who get promoted to Consultant without MBA, but they generally been at the firm since graduating undergrad. You can try and come in as an A2, which is just one step removed from Consultant.

Title doesn’t really concern me. My experiences are useful and make me better at some things, but they don’t translate to 10 years of experience at this company. Be prepared to work for someone younger than you, but they are also better at working the BCG way and definitely will have a lot to teach you.

I think you can make a case for Consultant (although then MBA sponsorship etc. may be off the table). Comp would be 165k base.

Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
