Hey guys, quick question on exit timing: in your view, how does a promotion to PL with 3 years in BCG compare with exiting today (consultant, 2 years)? What is the marginal value of this promotion?

Hello there,

I know many that transitioned as C2 and PL1, what I’m aware of (dependent on sector and experience) was a difference of 25-50% in total comp as well as wether there was a significant title and/or signing bonus.

Let me know if there’s possibly something more specific I can help you with.

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer! Any view on whether this varies between industries / geographies? In some less paying industries (NGOs, public sector) it might just define the salary cut I will need to take rather than the actual salary 😅

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization.

Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!

Anyone else kind of bored clerking? I liked law school and thought I liked research and writing, but so far this district court clerkship has been pretty boring—lots of state law issues that are poorly briefed. Though to be fair, most of my time has been spent on one big case that I’m 99% sure is going to settle but not until the eve of trial bc that’s plaintiff’s counsel’s m.o.; so my work resolving the insane number of SJ and Daubert motions seems like a waste of my time.
