First 8 weeks as an Associate after jumping from Big4:
Pros - super smart/driven colleagues, more unique/interesting work, more ownership, benefits are awesome, traveling frequently, more technical work, more frequent feedback
Cons - hours are worse, much faster timelines, having to learn the BCG way quickly, much higher expectations, less ability to choose cases
Overall very happy with the switch so far - happy to answer any questions!
Nah, I applied to Bain and heard back 2 months later
Ahh thanks for letting me know!
I applied to Bain and got a no 1.5 years later
