I recently left a T2 consulting firm (LEK, OW, ATK) for a tech company that’s about to IPO within the next year or so. Also just was informed about a BCG interview. Should I still take the interview?

Left consulting despite liking the work, just felt like my firm wasn’t a good cultural fit for me. Am really excited by my new gig, and the pay was a pretty significant pay bump from my consulting pay, but not sure if I’m making the right choice here.

You have the exit that people try to get from BCG. Stay for now and reassess after the IPO

No - there is no point. Spend atleast 2 - 3 years in your company and come back at a higher level for BCG in one of their growth areas - BCG gamma, DV etc.

No lol you’re in the dream position right now

Depends, what would you have chosen if you had both offers when you were with your old firm? Do you think there’s a strong chance you want to stay in consulting long term? If you would’ve strongly preferred BCG originally, would still go through the process and see what happens. The less sure you are about consulting, the more I’d recommend trying out the tech company.
