Yes and we usually get higher bonuses than C1s from B school given our 2-3 years of experience doing the job

If you’ve been successful in IB you’ll likely have the ability to be successful at BCG / in consulting. Necessary toolkit is very similar, esp. for the consultant role where you’ll largely be performing analyses and building slides (with some opportunities to own client relationships depending on case, etc.). As long as you can pass a case interview you should have a much easier ramp up than the folks whose pre-MBA experience was in a non-consulting / non-finance role

Thanks B2! For myself, I'm starting as an AC (zero tenure) this June/July. My understanding is that normally, I'd move to SAC in September 2024 (I.e., 2 years). Is this correct or would it be March 2024 under the standard time?

Would March 2024 (or earlier) be possible with very strong performance?

Can any Bainees confirm no difference in comp for Bain as well?

Confirmed. And actually, 401k employer contribution is based on Bain time employed not level, so a C1 with 3+ years of Bain time will get a slightly higher 401k contribution

Dumb question here. What’s is compensation for a C at BCG?

It’s on Glassdoor, pretty standard MBB c / post-MBA hire salary.
