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.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
