Could someone help explain the “Senior Associate” role at BCG? Interviewing as an experienced hire and was told this would be the offer letter if I get an offer.

In the US, only a lateral hire position. Means you’re not quite ready for Consultant, but we want to give you more tenure and pay than Associate. Quicker timeline to Consultant than coming in as an Associate too. I believe we bring in a fair number of people here.

Any specific questions?

Glad it’s helpful!

To the first point, I understand, that can be hard. I would say this though, it’s a temporary (and often short) title drop for a major, permanent, resume brand bump. People know BCG and having the name on your resume carries a ton of weight. Think about the long game. As for pay, I have no idea what you make, but just as an FYI if you haven’t looked into it, we pay Sr. As more than what many Cs at other firms make. Especially once you factor in bonus and other perks, your total comp might actually go up. Once again, don’t know what you make, but I know this is true compared to big 4 salaries, for example.

BCG has a very fast progression - I would say there is absolutely no stunted growth. Compared to every other firm I know, this is absolutely not a problem you’ll have here. My guess is you’ll spend one year as a Sr. A (have definitely seen much shorter and a little longer) before C and then you’ll be right there with the rest of the class.

Which office out of curiosity? I’m still waiting to hear back so I’m wondering if it’s a firm wide pause or not

Waiting to hear back if I got an interview or not. Hmm that’s interesting... I guess I’m getting worried bc I’ve seen many people on this bowl / the main one get interview invites and I haven’t heard anything. Thanks!
