Hi, I am contemplating an offer to join BCG (Gamma) as lateral hire partner and managing director. Have spent time equally across tech industry and in consulting( McKinsey, non partner roles). Any fish here that returned to consulting after industry and why? Also any specific advice / things to watch out for in BCG? Thanks all!

Achieving business targets and growing Gamma would be a tough due to external challenges. You need to play the game innovatively do deliver value both inside and outside BCG. Folks in BCG platinion aren't much happy with quality of projects. Just ensure you don't end up being at back stage while consultants enjoy the front end show.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
