I’m sorry what is a Senior Manager at Bains? Is it Principle equivalent?

It’s the day to day manager / execution lead for a project. They call it SM because it’s a substantive promotion in the Bain hierarchy from M to SM. Think of an M an “SM in training” - it’s a short “time window” where you’re tested for the next level and if you can’t hack it they force you out.

(In most cases) as an SM you’re in charge of delivery, upward, downward, and the appropriate client management

1st year SM at Bain is roughly a second year PL at BCG

PL is our big promotion point

Not to say that one way is better than the other
