How long would it take for MBBers (McK and BCG, since that's who I've passed a couple rounds with) to hit 250k starting from post MBA level?

Got an offer from FAANG with that TC and trying to compare the paths. I applied for data science tracks (specialist at McK, Gamma at BCG) at both. Generalists can give input cause the stuff I applied for has the same progression and comp allegedly.

You’ll be a first class citizen at FAANG, not really at MBB.

Do not go to BCG. You would be a huge second class citizen at BCG.

If any helpful, you’ll be a 2nd class citizen at McK as well as a data Scientists. A lot of folks really enjoy the type of work they do, which is really different from what they could do at a tech company

This is really changing. I joined 4 years ago and was floored by the subtle and not so subtle tiers. Nowadays, I’m seeing even the most old school integrative partners and senior partners much more directly embrace expert colleagues. Heck, I just saw two analytics colleagues I’ve worked with get elected.

Go to Faang. You'll have a happier life and career growth + stock appreciation which is not there at MBB.

Comp yes. Career growth No.

2 years(after first promotion) although you get very close in the second year if you are a top performer

Pay in Gamma is same or higher than generalist for same level but average promo timeline is slower.

Is your FAANG TC all cash or does it have stock with a vesting schedule?

MBB you’ll get healthy comp increases especially once you’re in years 3+ past MBA level - and it’s all cash. Plus the retirement contribution.

95% cash in first two years, shifting to 30% stock in latter two

MBB aren’t tech..so

Top box 2nd year Consultant at BCG

Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
Any suggestion for a career transition?

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.
