EYers, what would be arguments for me to leave BCG and join your firm? Recruiter reached out and wanted to get opinions before just saying no. It’s for a practice lead role (not clear if partner)

There a number of BCG alumni in my group (OTS). Most have left BCG as principal and come to EY as senior manager (I assume with hopes of making partner in relatively short order).

The advantages of MBB over Big 4 have been discussed at length on fishbowl and while I doubt we'd win any cross-offer situations for campus hires, there are a number of reasons I can think of why people would make the move you're evaluating.

Though I haven't discussed this with any of them, I imagine reasons could include 1) lifestyle (I feel like my hours and travel are generally less intense and more predictable than people I know at MBB) 2) they wanted to be part of a more specialized practice 3) they got a big bonus to join 4) they figured they had a higher probability of making partner

Also recruiting probably doesn't know shit. You should really talk with a practitioner in the specific practice

Have a friend who moved from BCG to EY for a partner position there and loves it (hours and specialization in what you do) and has tried to convince me to join since. Didn’t pull the trigger yet but might consider depending on next PDC

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
