Honestly, definitely think about the trade off here. Expectations are much higher, and the runway to the next level much shorter, for a senior. That can make for a very stressful year. If level isn't a dealbreaker, and it probably shouldn't be, let the chips fall where they may.

Senior associates usually come in with decent industry experience (2-3+ years), not typically consulting experience from what I have seen. Thus on the question of A vs SA I think it'd be more about your presence and how comfortable they'd be putting you in front of a client day 1 vs. your consulting skill set.

Agree with BCG 1. As an SA, you'll be judged against A2s which is undoubtedly one of the more competitive cohorts at BCG. If you think you can hang from day 1, great; otherwise, you could be in for a stressful 6month review

like

Yes... and remember expectation at BCG is 2 years from A to Consultant (post-MBA rank). Our "SA" rank is a one-year alternative... but it has a high failure rate. Traditional As do not pass through SA, it's an entirely different route

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?

I’ve been reading alot of Les Binet books/reports I’m new to how proper advertising work! I’m mostly focused on digital. But now wanting to get a grip of the bigger picture!

Les Binet mentions alot about brand building and activations, sometimes he will point to out to similar case studies and he would say this is brand building and this is an activation but they are very similar?

Is there books? Coaches? Resources to explain brand building vs activations? W examples for the QSR sub sector?
