Hi all, I have recently received an entry level offer from BCG Dubai.
I have 3+ years of experience out which half in consulting and half in managerial role in corporate.

Would you take such an offer or would you look for better seniority at another consulting ? Is it a fair treatment?

How much did they offer you? BCG is paying 26k/month to entry level analysts

Hey! Entry level as in Analyst or Associate? Also, congratulations!

Depends what are your career and financial goals.

Where are you based now?

BCG will sometimes start managers or senior consultants at the consultant stage and then advance you quickly depending on your first couple of reviews (2x per year).

Years ago I was told salary is standard for both tracks and for consultant level, although no transparency on what that is. Can you share more about your offer?

Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?
