Deloitte SM 1 to BCG PL1. Recommendations on whether it’s worth it? Higher compensation but riskier with no network and seemingly worse off culture and WLB. Appreciate insights

Better exits, higher calibre network, better pay, faster progression, worse WLB. No idea where you get the idea it’s worse culture lol.

Run, don’t walk, to BCG.

You should definitely come to BCG. Network doesn’t matter the way you think it does, and worse culture is laughable, this is consulting, and the MBBs have way more control over their culture than the big 4

Thanks for sharing ! Yea I do think network matters so much at Deloitte that it worries me more than it should - glad to hear. Culture - I’ve had a great experience at D with WLB (rare I know!) that’s why curious of what it’s like at BCG. Not shying away from work I know it’s consulting - but also know there can be terrible experiences in client service and the ppl you work with can make a difference!

What’s comp vs comp?

Why does every Deloitte person constantly overvalue network? This is like the 4th post I’ve commented this on. F network and chase the better company and money. Literally 0 risk to taking this role

Network has value but the network you’re getting at BCG is likely going to pay bigger dividends than the D network

Made the identical move, happy to connect on it. It’s a very different experience, and as stated earlier performance is what matters. If you are truly exceptional and are willing to work really hard and really stretch yourself, you will leapfrog everyone at Deloitte including principals/partners if you join BCG. If you don’t feel entirely confident and are worried about your network, don’t make the move. As my uncle once said “scared money don’t make money.”

Recently moved into Tech Sales. Frustrated with my Salary (32K base/year, negligible bonus potential of a few K). Was making ~3K/week on average in my previous role which was commission only, no base. Feel like I am completely wasting my time and potential. Saw the cut as necessary evil initially in order to move into tech sales and make multi six figure commissions later on with potential to reach 7 figures in total comp. At least my current role is with enterprise accounts which. Thought?

Mine - It comes down to senior management (client management) who believe in this not bcz it makes sense but more of as a religious zeal and the propogate the same across their team to justify their toxic control over their team's life.
