Feel like I made a huge mistake choosing BCG over McK. Good culture but staffing is so regional, and my region doesn’t have much of the work I wanted to do. Wish we had a more national model.

FWIW, here the folks who chose the other way also complain a lot and regret. Mostly about promotion to em/pl. Allegedly it's automatic for you if you reach a certain tenure (but I guess that if you aren't good enough, you will get CTL'd just before).

I think I made a faux pas during a discussion with a recruiter when asked what my salary expectations were. I KNOW not to give my number first but I was so caught off guard by the question since it was our initial discussion that I just blurted out a range. I’m afraid that I’ve now locked myself into a range with little room to negotiate if extended an offer. Any advice for how to proceed?
