How would you all think about the pros/cons of lateraling from T2 to BCG? I’m not unhappy at my firm, I have a strong support network, get to do decently interesting work, and know how to get high performance reviews, but I think BCG would help with business school apps, potentially lead to better exits (though not 100% sure since I’ve been pretty happy with the interviews ive been getting at my current firm), and provide an overall stronger network. Any insights appreciated. Tyia

Honestly I don’t get why people want to move from T2s if they are happy because most of the time they are getting paid guap too and don’t even need to go to bschool to advance

100% agree. If marginally better brand name on the resume is a big deal to OP then go for it but BCG (and MBB consulting overall) is it’s own demon

I dig working less hours for a less money where I’m at right now. I don’t think more money would really change my quality of life so I prefer living my life instead of getting devoured by work I don’t care about

Thinking of a similar move too.. have had lots of success in landing interviews in the exits I want so wondering if the incremental “brand value” is even as recognisable as we consultants think it is

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
