First 8 weeks as an Associate after jumping from Big4:

Pros - super smart/driven colleagues, more unique/interesting work, more ownership, benefits are awesome, traveling frequently, more technical work, more frequent feedback

Cons - hours are worse, much faster timelines, having to learn the BCG way quickly, much higher expectations, less ability to choose cases

Overall very happy with the switch so far - happy to answer any questions!

Hey guys. I am currently working as an integrated marketing executive with an organisation. I have 4 months of experience and want to learn more. Any freelancing or side hustle projects that I can be part of?

What's like jumping from consulting to PE in London?

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Gosh I just spent 2 hours on my handover worksheet and the word document is already 1.5 pages long... that’s only for 1 topic... 3 more topics to go. Good luck to whoever is going to take over all these from me haha. You can officially say goodbye to work life balance 🤣

Why is Salesforce Marketing Cloud Consultant certification this hard compared to other SF certifications? Any tips to crack this?

I messed up my interview with Millennium LLP for an entry level role and I feel nothing but dread right now. I believe it was my only opportunity at obtaining a high salary / profile job compared to my other options that only pay half as much. How can I accept the fact that I might not be able to start out as successful as I wanted to be? I believe it’s extremely difficult to jump between layers (E.G. Big 4 to MBB) later on in my career.

Is BCG Chicago still doing written case for final round?

Quick one, Is it okay to always ask for time to collect thoughts before answering questions during case interviews or should we shoot from the hip? I stutter naturally so speaking without a bit of time to collect thoughts can be hard.

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

What level should I apply to if I’m a manager at B4? Considering applying
