At my T2 you might have a chance after your promo, before that no way. We don't hire anyone at a title bump if they couldn't cut it at their old firm. Not sure where you are but 3+ YOE before promo would also be a bit of a red flag (depends on country), normally you hit the out part of up or out at that point. I expect it wouldn't be different for MBB. Would be a different story 3-5 years ago when the consulting market was hot
Sorry just saw this is middle east please disregard everything I've said
If you make post-MBA cohort in a good T2 (OW, Kearney, S&) then BCG would hire you at the equivalent level (Consultant). Downgrading only really happens if joining from Big 4 (rare); I’ve seen Senior Managers join as Project Leader, albeit with tenure credit
I wouldn’t make the move unless it’s for BCG. McK ME lately feels chaotic and pale culture. They also missed important parts of the early KSA upside and are now catching up as the cycle cools. Great brand tho (greatest by far in recruitment market). Bain is only good if you're below manager - you get the benefit of the "culture" and MBB brand. Not to mention how mediocre they are in the region (their position, growth, hires, and everything).
BCG hits it on all levels..
