C(likely getting promoted to SC in a few months) offered a SA role at BCG. Is it a step down or worth the switch considering the brand?

If generalist consultant role, I would even take A, not just SA.

Def take it, not much of a step down at all (few months at best), SA can get promoted to Consultant (pre-manager role) in ~12 mo. Much better exit ops and comp ramp.

I would love to know how you got this offer. I’m up for SC @ Deloitte too, and have actively considered BCG.

Also, side note, what is your current base vs what they offer? Any MBA?

like

Do it! You’ll be C1 in a year, and the pay there is significantly more than SC at Deloitte.
Additionally, you could potentially be doing better work, and much better exit ops

Which practice area?

Wait. Gamma SA role is not consulting. The consulting equivalent are data science or engineering roles.

like

No MBA. will be ~the same base after the expected year end appraisal

It was through a referral

I have my partner interview with BCG in a week at SA level and am also interviewing with a Tier 3 at the Manager level, would still go with BCG if I get both. Hands down.

Also would you mind if I DM a question about your final round interview experience?

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
