Cannot offer personal advice not knowing you personally but FWIW I am in BCG Gamma and work with Platinion folks regularly. Great folks, highly skilled, fun to work with.

@C1 Platinion is treated 2nd class in ways but... As much as we hate it, they are the future of strategy consulting.

Following. Very interested in BCG gamma. Looking to explore opportunities with them since path forward where I currently am is not clear and the practice as a whole is not doing too well.

Looks like we are in the same practice. Interested in BCG gamma as well

What are we missing? This is a 25-50% raise, once you factor in benefits eg healthcare

BCG consultants run the show and Platinion gets treated like 2nd class citizens unfortunately.

I think that's indicative of the problem. Many BCG Consultants just have an organizational bias to working with their own kind of people. There's zero self awareness about how to work with people who approach work and problems from a non pure-MC lens. So they don't mean to be jerks, but PLA and Gamma can get the short end of the stick
