I am a first year Manager and applied to a PL role. Should I email BCG to suggest that I would be open to consultant level or will they automatically consider me?

Yes you need to email experienced recruiting and let them know. They’ll likely tell you to apply for the consultant role separately.

I would proactively reach out. Won’t be awk or hurt your candidacy.

Saw you mentioned 8/9 yrs exp, but TBH PL will be highly unlikely when recruiting sees <1-yr as manager at non-MBB
