I’m seeing jobs on LinkedIn for BCG M roles (amongst others). I work in the strategy team of a big 4 and have been in the manager role for ~2 years, expecting promotion this year. Have strong P sponsorship. But pay is 30% lower.

@MBB - how well have you seen people do when they make the jump at the M level? My concerns are not knowing specific firm methodology (my perception is it’s more ingrained / dogmatic in MBB) and lack of sponsorship at the D / P level makes it hard to progress. Thoughts?

Lateral managers have lower success rates. Be aware. Make sure you have a network at BCG willing to staff you.

M at big 4 will probably down a level to be Associate here at McK or Consultant at BCG. You might have an opportunity (low odds) to argue for a parallel move to EM role here but really your first 6 months will
Be playing an Associate role bc you need to understand the McK way of working. Hope that clarifies.

Our problem solving process is different from how other firms operate. Storylining is also a very McKinsey way of operating. And then the one Firm approach to advising client is also a unique McKinsey way of operating. You don't have many firms that staff teams by pulling people an EM from one region with associates and BA's from all around the country.

You probably won't get in anyways without an MBA.

An MBA would help but there's enough precedent of laterals without it
