I've never worked at the other two and can't compare. What I like most about BCG are the people. I found the majority to be really smart, yet very humble and kind. Didn't expect the firm to have so many "nice" people to be honest, especially in the upper ranks.

Op: are you out of undergrad?

Nope, lateral for personal reasons.

Bschool then? I am trying to switch w/0 MBA, wondering if that's possible.

No, I work for Bain. Its possible, you just need to network really hard to get an interview.

OP- what's your motivation to leave Bain? Heard the culture there is top notch, and it's still MBB.

Culture so I've heard

One thing worth noting is that BCG/Mck have a diamond structure- less As, whereas Bain is pyramid- more As. So associates run their own work streams under project leaders, as opposed to being managed by consultants- which I believe is the case with Bain and its spinoffs (LEK, Parthenon). Correct me if I'm wrong..?

BCG more academic. And they invented the 2x2!!!

Vault says Bain & BCG are neck and neck; externally, at least, I can't see a big difference. Interested to see more answers.

@EY1: the 2x2?

Lesson 1 of consultant school

Ok, I'd always thought those were called quad-charts. NM.
