Have an interview coming up for an Expert Consultant role at Boston Consulting Group. Just curious if anyone can share how WLB and comp compares to that of a generalist consultant there. Also, is the interview process any different or does it involve typical case studies?

What’s the reason for the move?

following, may be be in a similar position at some point soon

The experience is pretty much similar to generalist of you join as C level ( consultant ) . But depends - e.g. you might have longer periods of being unstaffed = better wlb

Interview process involves cases, behavioral is focused on the function / industry you join as an expert in

BCG1 is correct. Lower level ECT is fairly similar in role. As you climb your role can morph into almost anything you want it to be if you are good at it.
Comp is same, but tops out just above $1M. If you are truly uniquely awesome (lets say top 10% of experts) at your role you can pretty much call your shots (eg what you work on, what you do, and how much you do of it) so you have better WLB than anyone in the firm. If you are bad at it then you are a bit left out of the party.
