Hi Folks,
I am considering an 1 year OTC role( contract )in BCG and would like to understand the pros and cons to make a better decision.

Posting as :
works at
You are currently posting as works at

Pros:
1. You get to see BCG culture as you live BCG during your stint. The only difference being your case will be fixed
2. You’ll be treated no different - invite to outings, BCG resources etc.
3. You’ve to be an exceptional performer to join full time.
4. You get to save tax a lot while being paid good

Cons:
1. Even if you are a ‘good performer’, you won’t end up joining full time as the decision is fully dependent on the MDP you work with
2. You’ll be always under double stress - work stress, conversion stress
3. If you don’t end up converting, not very sure how is the experience counted in the external market as it is not a full time role
