How do the different MBB teamlets look like? Hearing a lot about Pl +2 at BCG And M+3 at Bain, etc. just wondering how new undergrads and mbas would be positioned in these teams.

Bain is generally more AC heavy and runs larger teams than M and B

like

My current team is a pl+3. A2+C1+C2. Last case was pl+4. 2A2s+C1+C2. Both case teams are larger than normal for BCG

like

Depends on the project. For smaller projects you could have PL+2 reporting to the MDP, so the PL runs the show. For bigger projects there are more layers.

Classic Bain SKU is SM + 4 (usually two Cs/SACs, two ACs), but there are tons of variants. Recently my office is selling a lot of both SM + M + 4-6 as well as a lot of M + 2

like

Is calling every process/offering a SKU a Bain-wide trend? I hear it from Bainies all the time

funny

M+4 is the ‘base’ size for a team. It flexes up more than down.

Frankly the M+4 model is exceed most of the time as investments (new hires) get tacked on.
My last 3 cases in PEG we’ve been:
M+6, M+5 (maxed out at +7, and back to +6)., and now M+4 (but started +6)
