PTO in BCG has a very different meaning lol -
Mostly a call for help 😂

likefunny

PTO for BCG is 15 days post-MBA and then jumps to 20 at the PL and above level. We officially get around 12 holidays, but over the last two years that’s going to be closer to 20 because of all the bonus days (e.g., having the entire week off from Christmas to NYE).

19 for first two years, then 24 after.

But we’re forced to use 3 for office closure over the holidays

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!
