Have been invited to reapply to BCG but I’m also ~ 4 months away from a promotion to manager. Should I wait until after promotion?

Hope would then to be able to come in as consultants as opposed to senior associate (I don’t have 4 yoe)

I don't agree. They need you to be hired now, don't let the opportunity go. Be very clear to them that your promotion is in progress and you want that to be taken into account in the hiring process.

How have you been invited to reapply?

Then definitely get the promo

They would hire you down anyway but I would still get the promotion in case it becomes helpful after bcg

Yea because of that I would come in as associate/senior associate if I don’t get the promotion (don’t qualify for consultant in terms of yoe)

Wouldn’t you be hired as a manager if you wait until getting promoted?

They hire one down.

Where are you working currently?

Life science boutique firm

Could you please let us know how you got invited to reapply?

Did they reach out to you to reapply?

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
