You’re going to be just fine. Right now you are surrounded by phenomenally bright people so it is easy to lose track of your relative performance. In most companies you are going to stand out. Sure you don’t have the skills just yet, but think how quickly and how much you learned at BCG, the play that forward at your next job.
My advice is to find work that you genuinely enjoy, then be humble & patient - don’t expect to be the #1 performer from day 1 and instead get your head down and learn. Your abilities will show through in time.

I’m at a large tech firm now and there are definitely things I don’t know and screw up but no one thinks twice about it afaik
Also make sure you choose the right exit if you do want to leave… so many tech companies are sinking ships in this economy and if you do Strategy and Ops you’re at the mercy of the leadership of that company.
You aren’t going to manage anyone, so you don’t need to worry about that.
