KA implies you’re a second class citizen in the firm

likesmart

OP- I am a former LKA who exited to industry. Yes, you will be a second class citizen but there are still a lot of positives to working in KT.
For exit opps, you won’t be able to get quite the same roles as consultants, but having BCG on your resume is a huge positive nonetheless.
I’m happy to discuss in more depth if you send a DM.

Have seen people leverage KT exits to some cool stuff, some exits to BCG CT and some to other firms at CT if that's what you want - and there are staffing opportunities for KT if you want them.

To the second class citizens comments - The firm will never view KT (or frankly any non-consulting function) as the golden child and there are certainly times I've felt second-class, but your experience will depend a lot on your practice and topic. I love the folks I work with and they value our expertise as a core enabler of the team and a successful commercial practice so it doesn't matter to me what an random A/C/PL thinks, but it's pretty variable and I know many people that have had far different experiences. Am not familiar with ENPA, but happy to discuss more if you want to DM.

Hey! Curious to hear about the work you do as a trader. My SO is very interested and would love to hear more. Also happy to chat about McK if you’re interested!

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
