First year (ug level hire) and got email from apple recruiter. Would love to exit to FAANG but not sure I'm ready to leave BCG in my first year but maybe after 2-4. What is best practice?

What is the position at apple and is it something you’d like? I have 4 yoe of experience and got hit up by apple for a role and a 30% raise and didn’t go because the role wasn’t right for me. A good role that’s a good fit is more important than the name of the company. Especially this early in your career, don’t get pigeonholed in a focus area you have little interest in.

I also think your exits will be significantly better if you wait until post 1st promo. That will also give you time to figure out what you really want to do. Granted, If you find something you like before then, don’t let this advice feel like rules you need to follow

Leave! BCG nowadays accepts average candidates. Soon BCG experience in your CV will not be worth as much as it was years ago. The market will be flooded with a huge number of ex-MBBs desperately looking for exits

Been with company for 2.5 years in a SFA role, and they just let me hire an associate financial analyst reporting into me.

Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.
