If I want to switch to another MBB, is it better to take a break e.g., go into industry for a bit, and then apply? Or apply while still at BCG? I’m about 18 months at my current level - if I spend a bit of time in industry should I be applying for the same level I left at, or the next one up?

Why do you want to switch? You’ll at best be able to reapply to the same level if you go into industry. I think the best way is to build an expertise where (in your case) BCG has an edge in your market, and where the other MBs are trying to compete

at mck, very political. people WILL stab you in the back when opportunity arises

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
