Currently at Deloitte, just received an offer at BCG - catch is the role and comp are one level below where I’m currently at. However, the industry is more aligned to my goals. Worth making the jump?

Having worked at D before, my view is BCG is trying hard to be a D or an Accenture. Real strategy work is diminishing fast. I came in at the same level as D but regret my decision. I struggle with my WL balance, miss my network and generally feel miserable all the time. It depends on the support you get when you come in and people who you work with. I have seen people making it work as well. In my case, having seen both, I feel D might have been a better and optimal long term choice that lets you balance family, work pressure and income.

You probably already have enough data, but I wanted to say in since I also made the jump from Deloitte to BCG. For me it’s been 100% worth it. I work harder... but growth is accelerated, cases have been more impactful, and the exit opps are markedly better.
