Currently a senior 3 at EY and hope to get promoted to manager next year by October. Is it better to move over to BCG after promotion as a project leader? Or would that not be a lateral move as a EY manager?

The odds you'll lateral in as PL are near zero. Manager promotion or not.

agreed. B4 managers regardless of tenure mostly start at postmba levels with fast track to EM/PL

What are they offering you now? As a rule of thumb (MBB specific) you want to lateral early and get into a lower level so that it is easier to succeed and get promoted.
