If is definitely possible especially now with high demand..I think BCG one meant senior associate (not sr. Consultant) that is the most likely outcome with 12-18 month track to consultant. The 25% bonus is max though…highly unlikely you’ll see that more like half. Your PM comp is likely higher, not familiar with Apple but I understand G/F at l4 levels are ~230 which your not going to hit. Plus workload/intensity/hours is usually much much higher vs. tech.

There’s a ton of ppl interested in moving to PM at FAANG and tech in general due to high comp and perceived importance/prestige within company from MBB but super hard given the experience isn’t directly transferable and most don’t have tech backgrounds. Not sure why you would go other way around.

At Bain I’ve seen people do business school, then come in as a Consultant — otherwise you might come in as a “Associate Consultant” but they put you on a fast track for promotion to catch you up

Do you have a PhD? If so then a Consultant at BCG, 175k base, ~25% bonus. If not, a senior consultant, 130k base, ~25% bonus

Care to share what your motive for the move is? PM at Apple is what a ton of MBB consultants would give an arm and a leg for. And also, happy to answer any questions you may have, I came in experienced at MBB with about 2 years from finance, so similar situation.

I’m having trouble DMing 😂

I love how the automatic response here is “consultants all want to be PMs, what are you thinking?!”. 1) not necessarily true, and most PM paths are terminal middle management; 2) There’s a lot of motivations people have for their career
