I'm on the knowledge team OP and while it is technically possible to jump to consulting from that role it's incredibly rare and the exception rather than the rule. if you're looking to stay in consulting then I'd say stay at D but if looking for a change of pace and better WLB (most of the time) go for it. Feel free to DM

Nah, only the consulting track is worth it IMO. I could have joined BCG Gamma but it wasn’t a good fit either.

Why not gamma? Seems as good as the consulting track. It is a consulting track just analytics focused.

Gamma team is legit though.

Is comp comparable or would you also take a comp hit? Why did you interview in the first place?

I would say no. The KT has some great folks but I can’t imagine you get the same learning or growth as the consulting track. Not to mention, the exit opps are far more limited as well
