I have 4 years in strategic roles and 4 years in implementation. I have been keen on making a change to a generalist role at MBB. How would I go about it ? Dont want the MBA path. I would appreciate any good advice on how to get started.

It would be difficult to get a look for the Consultant role. But hey, you can always apply and see if a recruiter happens to notice!

Sounds like a potential fit for a consultant role in BCG GAMMA.

You could go gamma and then general track internally. Changing track is not that easy, but possible. Furthermore, Gamma work - depending on role - can be pretty much similar to general track consultant‘s work (just project selection biased towards data-heavy projects).

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
