Currently in PwC DDV. Primarily long term IT M&A execution projects. Incredibly toxic team culture, lack of basic respect and decency, impossible asks from leadership.

Got an offer from BCG Platinion in Tech Advisory & Delivery, but a level below my current role but same base pay.

I’m thinking the BCG name will make up for the title downgrade. Thoughts? What is the BCG Platinion culture like?

“Much less” is incorrect. Plan for 60-70%, be happy with anything less

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
