Am here now in that space. Can you define a bit more what you mean by cloud tech work? Hands on implementation or higher level architecture and program direction? I believe we are actively looking for both. wlb is about what you’d expect at an 80% travel job 55 hours a week.

Came out of A work with a ton of people from D.

Do you prefer this over A? Is there any second class citizenship feeling with BCG proper?

It’s definitely better than at A and D I call tell you that, and I am young and like consulting is why I stay. Very few places as a SWE let you get to learn and understand the business as well as develop your coding skills. Eventually I imagine I’ll end up in a corporate SWE role (think FAANG or unicorns, that’s where the exits are)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
