Hi BCG 🐠! I’m looking to apply for the Project Leader position, focusing on Post-merger Integration. I’ve done M&A IT work at both D and S&. Would love to chat more for insights.

If you’re still an SC, there’s no way you’ll come in as a Project Leader. I’ve worked with multiple former Deloitte Managers who enter as C1 or C2s. Lateral PLs are usually SMs or Directors.

Got it. Thank you.

On a similar note, any perspectives on how the interview process for a project leader compares to the consultant level?

like

Project leader interview is largely the same at the first round (case) second round partners will probably ask you about one of the cases you’ve led

Any BCG 🐠 willing to talk to a potential applicant, please DM me. I have 7 YoE in Tech Implementation and 3 YoE in M&A Tech Strategy. I’ve done both Divestiture and Integration work.

Why are you wanting to exit your B4?

You would absolutely not come in as a project leader. I would also keep your specialty pretty open, PMI IT is way too specific

What are your compelling reasons for wanting to be hybrid/remote?
