Friends what's the recruitment process for BCG?
Hey, Fishies! We’re launching our first Interview/Q+A series "Portfolio Rewind: Would You Hire You?"
Like a portfolio review in reverse, creative leaders will share work they created when they first started out and critique it as if were a book that had just landed in their inbox. Then, tell us if they’d hire their younger selves knowing, and expecting, what they do now.
Drop in for get the chance to ask questions, and get your book reviewed by our guest. Hope you can make it!

You’ll be much happier if you stop comparing yourself to others, especially for something as silly as firm prestige
Yup — it destroyed my relationship with my ex — she was at a top performer at a T2 and could never get the feeling of inferiority out of her head. Get out of this mentality while you can; no one wins.

Monitor is basically the same as MBB very minimal difference
Never shat on them, if anything I said we have great people. My issue is more about the consistency and willingness to win bigger better projects and attract better people… constantly arguing with people in leadership about attracting MBA candidates sucks
In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter. The difference between MBB and Monitor isn’t so large that it can’t be bridged and overcome through deliberate effort and excellent work, especially if you’re acing it as you say. For example you can create equal chances of being at the same place as or in better places than your MBB friends in 5-10-20 years time; lots of people from Monitor will exit into better exits than MBB folk will, and many won’t. It’s down to you which camp you fall in — comparing like this won’t help you.

Jeez, starting to think these posts are being generated by the MBB propaganda machine.
If it’s real, wake up and smell the flowers. And find friends who aren’t in consulting.

All of your friends are at MBB? Why are all of your friends consultants?
I’d love to be at monitor if that makes you feel better
Pro
No one outside of consulting knows or cares about MBB

Lmao I’m not in consulting anymore buddy boy. I have a great exit opp into industry. But go off kid and have fun with making pretty shapes on slide decks

if it helps you feel better Monitor doesn't exist (in the US anyways)
Yes it does. We just don’t brand it as heavily.
You need a therapist, not input from random people on fishbowl
Nah
Ok but if you are rapidly progressing here then who cares
Two words: uber. Eats.

What exactly do you think would be different? You’re still getting the interviews. Do you think you’d skip the interview process or something coming from mbb? Red carpet straight to the c suite?
