I got an offer at BCG platinion for the same base salary as my current position. The bonus per year could be a lot more like 20-30k more and they have nice insurance and retirement fund compensation compared to my current position. If I do decent on my new role at BCG I could be earning about 40-50k more total comp than my current role at Accenture. Is the brand value, growth as tech leader and exit opportunities worth to switch to BCG?

From what I hear I think I’ll be working almost double the hours I am now. Seems it’s standard people in BCG PLA work like 12-14 hour days. Please correct me if I’m wrong

PLA is not the same as the rest of BCG - from what I recall hearing it’s kind of like second class, but perhaps that changed. It also depends on the role and work?

Yes, but I’m biased 😂

Could you please elaborate? How has your experience been at BCG and your growth at the company?

No brainer. Compared to Accenture or b4 bcg is better. Now the consulting industry as a whole imo is a deadweight but within the deadweights I would take bcg over any big 4.

You’re saying that salary, growth, brand value are all better at BCG vs. Accenture, right? In that case, I don’t see the downside for you. My experience at BCG has been great, but I’m not in Platinion/X, so don’t want to opine there

Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
