Considering a move to BCG Consultant. Currently have a job in Strategy&. Leaving to BCG would put me in debt for a loan I have to pay back to Strategy& for covering my MBA. If I plan on staying in consulting 3-4 more years, are the exit ops actually any better at BCG. Let's put compensation aside. Purely focusing on the exit opportunity (and maybe the intangible prestige that comes from having BCG on your resume) perspective for now.

I'd only do it if you're not in the vertical you want to make your career in. In general, no I don't think our exits are that much more different especially if you network hard and go after the jobs you want

If this is the case, it may not make that much of difference, but I would still give BCG the edge.

Either way you can’t go wrong 😁

If you’re doing well and have a strong network not much of a difference. Half the battle is finding out how to navigate a firm; figuring that out may take a year and set you back

I certainly wouldn’t leave for BCG if it was going to result in loans

Especially as a lateral. BCG is having a ton of growing pains right now. You will also need to rebuild your network.

Do a LinkedIn search of former Strategy& and BCG Managers / PLs. That should tell you.
