I have master degree and 2 years experience in Oliver Wyman and I am now applying for BCG. What role do you think I can reasonably target? If they recognise my seniority it should be “Consultant”, but I know is not always the case…

If it helps, in OW I mostly worked in transportation and automotive industries and moving to BCG I’d like to double down on that

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but 2 YOE at a consulting firm and a Masters should still put you at the post-MBA level (Associate at McK/Consultant at BCG). Getting PL is a steal and definitely not Principal level

I would assume they would bring you in as a Senior Associate. This is the level for external hires with 1 to like 4 years of experience. It is between Associate and Consultant in pay

Why leave OW for BCG if you wanna specialize in trans and auto, isn’t OW strongest for those industries?

OW is strongest in FS, first and foremost. Have a good trans team but FS is our bread & butter.

Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall.

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried
