@OP:
- Classic BCG has two tracks: Partner Track and expert track.

- SBU (speciality business units) - DigitalBCG (DV, Platinion, Gamma), Brighthouse, a few other units
These units are mostly NOT partner track, typically have lower pay than classic, and house the bulk of BCG's Digital staff.

- KT (Knowledge Team) - expertise consultsnts and knowledge management teams that support consulting teams. Are not always as client-facing. Paid less.

- BST (Business Services Team) - runs all internal functions (internal strategy marketing, recruitment, growth, etc.)

Anything not "Classic" is a bit of a 2nd class citizen.

@SM1, if you're on the expert track, you can't make partner. It's an either/or thing (partner track VS expert track).

As for operations, it should be clear from the job description if it's partner track or not. What's the title of the ops role?
