If you get transitioned/councilled out from BCG/MCK, can you still apply and get hired by the other? Is there a non-compete clause? How is it perceived?

Counselling out is a confidential decision and process in BCG - apart from the local Partner group, only people to know would be the ones the employee chooses to inform him/herself.

This is also never revealed to potential future employers, including competitors (hell, I even want my low performing team members to end up at McK 😅).

And regarding non-compete, except at very senior levels this doesn't exist. However, you would typically not serve the same client, at least directly & visibly, for a certain period (6-12m) - I don't believe his is contractually required, but both BCG and McK do this to protect themselves.

I had the opposite problem—came to BCG from McKinsey and my CDA was convinced I must have come here because I was CTL’ed from McKinsey even though I wasn’t. Can’t win! 🤷🏻‍♂️

the main partner I work for hasn’t been giving me consistent enough work (or type I want) so while I work for him still on some deals, I’ve had to go and get other work from other partners. He doesn’t regularly check in on what I’m working on. He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!
