Fellow BCGers, what’s wrong with the HR service? My roommate has been waiting 4 months for his signing bonus check to arrive - and still HR team does not provide a date, whereas our friends from b school who got into mck or Bain got it really quick (it’s driving him a bit crazy). Is this anecdotal or was this an issue for more colleagues (asking for him). Thx!

I got mine within first 2 paychecks so it’s not a general BCG thing (same thing happened to most people I know)

Definitely anecdotal- everyone I know in my start class got theirs with their first paycheck

Ok, I think he thought it’d be given months in advance before starting (bc our mck colleagues got it after signing the offer and as you know during MBA cash is a thing!), but I’ll let him know he’ll get it with the first paycheck - HR has been in general non responsive, that’s why I asked here. Thanks!

Hmm, I got it months in advance of starting.

BCG HR is all handled by local offices so there's a bit of variability in how good the staff is...

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable. So is the fixed amount my gross salary without any other deduction except TDS, or will the organisation contribution to PF be also deducted from the fixed component? Also, will claimable components like LTA, mobile bill reimbursement etc. be in addition to this fixed component or will they be included in it?
