I feel betrayed. Kab Hua Meeting😑😶🥹

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

Welcome to the real world OP. Check your elitism at the door
What do you consider tier 2/3? Are large state universities tier 2/3? News flash bro - being in the top 5% of a large state school is an impressive feat. The public universities are not afraid to fail people... unlike HYP where where a B+ is a considered a “gentleman’s C”... I was Ivy undergrad too, and I find comments like these asinine and elitist
Big Ten Engineering school and we had a forced curve at 2.8 (late 90s / early 00s). Life was tough!
“Only have engineering degrees” lol
I’m confused how someone thinks an engineering degree is easier than a business degree at a tier 1 school...
what is this post about
Rising Star
OP getting a reality check
Chief
Why would the type of degree they have or the school they went to have anything to do with the kind of partners they are or the work they do?
Almost anyone who’s now a BCG partner came into the firm as a generalist. That’s changing some, but broadly speaking anyone who comes in as a consultant can do any kind of work they want to do (and can get themselves staffed on).
It good to find someone who doesn't unnecessarily glorifies degree from a particular place. What do you think about hiring practice? Is the firm open to hiring new chaps from nor tier 1 background
Pro
The founder of our firm got his MBA from a state school, and is now worth billions.
Also many very successful people never went to a top university / even went to a university for that matter.
I’m gonna assume this is a good faith post and not just trying to rag on state schools.
Some people pivot after undergrad to a completely new field. Some do work for energy, pharma, tech, digital, telecom, etc companies, which may be related to various engineering disciplines.
The work is not going to be a direct application of what they studied, but that is extremely common in consulting.
It is very common to hire engineering undergrads who decide they’d rather work with clients in some unrelated field like consumer goods or finance (and as long as the work is good, no one cares), and maybe go on to do an MBA later.
Exactly. No one is going to an Ivy League school to study engineering, even for the few that do offer it.
Lol so sorry that my biochemical engineering degree from a state school isn’t elite enough for you. I’ll see myself out?
what degree do you have?
Lol Mckinsey started hiring PhDs/MDs/JDs/MS since 3 decades ago, so does BCG. Only tier 2 consulting firms still think MBAs are required
Engineers are fine bro
Pro
Wow
I'm trying to understand if the partners do IT consulting etc. Do various paths exist? I'm an engineer just curious what my path forward could be.
Your undergraduate degree has absolutely nothing to do with what work you do at BCG. Come in to solve client problems, find industries or functional problems you like to solve a lot, keep doing it.
Engineering degree is the only degree
