Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.
Any Bainees willing to chat/refer?

McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

Bain & Company Got dinged after a final round AC interview with Bain & Company as an experienced hire with 1 YOE. Currently at $75k base salary and on average work 30-40 hours a week.
Considering $15-25k increase in salary, but double the number of work hours, is it worth reapplying to Bain next year or better to wait to apply until after business school?

If you have good reviews and a strong network, why are you considering this? I don’t think outcomes really differ between the 3 firms, and pay doesn’t really differ either from my outsider perspective. Apologies as I know this isn’t an answer to your question, but I am curious
True except a newbie period
The only time I've seen this is Bain to BCG or McKinsey at early M level; usually because the Bainie wants to specialize earlier and Bain's local office model makes that hard if your particular office doesn't do the work you want.
Only know one case where it went well (Bainie was super smart with prior experience in and deep passion for industry they wanted). For others, important to understand that a generalist Bainie might struggle at BCG or McK. With staffing done in the verticals, pyramids, or whatever you lot call them, and selected by the partners on the case, there's no reason to select some new EM you've never worked with before vs someone with experience in the pyramid and internal references. So the transferee languishes, doesn't get staffed, and when they do they're behind tenure.
Bain doesn't integrate better at this level by the way, the culture is way more idiosyncratic and staffing at M/SM can be more political than people think; but having central office staffing helps.
Very true for foreign not homegrown managers
Bain poached a bunch of BCG’s PE people back in fall ‘21 through spring ‘24, for what it’s worth. Everything from about-to-be-elected level to more senior partners.
This makes a ton of sense (and how Bain run things sounds better). At BCG a lot of people try (successfully) to game the system in ways that benefit them but aren’t good for the system overall. Retention and development aren’t as valued, so you have people you love, and everyone else is just burned.
