Does anybody know about hiring PhDs?Is it true that a fresh PhD could get post-MBA position (as MBB says)? It's strange because majority of them don't have relevant experience. Do you know such cases?

Yeah happens all the time, moreso at McK and BCG

I have a physics PhD, BCG hired me directly out of grad school with no relevant experience at post MBA equivalent. We do it literally dozens of times every year across North America (not sure the worldwide number and it works a bit differently in some other systems). Have been doing it for decades. Some of our most successful partners came through this route.

Yep, our PhDs come in with a post-MBA position. Not sure if their salary is the same as an MBA but title is. The PhD is especially helpful in industries/work streams that require SME/deep scientific knowledge (like life science).

All our advance degree hires (PhD, JD, MD) come in at the same level as MBA hires with some additional training in the beginning much like McK

MBB pay is the same for everyone at the same tenure, so yes.

Know someone that went to McK post PhD in Chemistry and is now a Engagement Manager

We don’t hire fresh PhDs post-MBA roles which Consultant at ZS for the exact same reason. But we hire them. And, they prove to bring a lot of value and skills.

We had PhDs in my starting consultant class as well

Yes, and phds have a 2 week training called mini MBA that probably teaches the same as the 2year program

Do BCG and McK pay them the same amount as MBA hires?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
