Hi all, any CDD openings with your firm?
Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.

Depends where you were on the pay band already for the previous level.
Yes especially if your responsibilities increased
Bowl Leader
Nothing is guaranteed in general, but 3% feels low by industry standards. It's essentially an inflation correction rather than an actual raise. It's also 2020 though... Lots of places are being more austere in all kinds of ways, including skipping raises and bonuses all together.
One thing you could check is what's happening at your specific company. Repost under your company name in this bowl, or if you don't want to share that, could check if there's an internal company bowl.
It sounds like you accepted the offer. Was your counter denied? For internal promotions, it's important to be willing to walk away if your needs aren't being met. 3% could have been a lowball with the expectation that you'd negotiate.
