I am a Big SM and have an offer from BCG as a PL and Oliver Wyman as a Principal. I would have thought it’d be an easy decision but I’m worried about going back to be an engagement manager. Comp is 10% higher at OW but obviously long-term is important. Thoughts?

What about both?

Would depend on the practice and people in my opinion, I wouldn’t make this decision based on firm reputation. Principal can be a tough entry point, but if you have a growing team it could position you very quickly for partner. PL at BCG might give you more time to build up your network though.

Also if comp is a concern make sure you understand the total comp structure. OW is heavily bonus-driven at senior levels (expect ~1/3 of your comp to come from bonus) so not sure if that 10% difference is based on base salary or total.

What are you expecting to land as a big 4 SM? Partner? Big 4 SMs are engagement managers ( so not sure what you mean "return"), so unless you're looking for a promotion/step up, what's the concern?

Big 4 SMs are EMs? What are you smoking

PL/P at BCG is very similar in terms of responsibilities so as others have mentioned I wouldn’t worry a whole lot about that. Some comp structure changes once you get promoted but staffing wise they have a lot in common. Expectations are just higher at P. I was much happier to lateral at PL then work on my network to be a successful P instead of crash and burn with little support at P.

What practice at BCG and OW?

Is this with BCG digital? Did you know you were interviewing for PL or it was decided post interviews? Guessing this is generalist track.

Also tbh I can barely tell the diff between hours worked /roles of my principals and Pls

These comments are hilarious, what a great way of ending my Sunday

Looking for advice - I doubled my scope in the last few months, and have been seeking a promotion and raise to match my increased scope.

My concerns are that if I sign the retention bonus, the company no longer has an incentive to give me a good raise in February,l. Thoughts?
