Bain & Company What is the likelihood of making SAC in September 2022 if I join as an AC on April 18th at Bain & Company? I am a senior consultant at EY with 3.5 years of experience in Data Analytics. Or is March 2023 more realistic? They told me 6 months for promotion but it seems like the two promotion cycles with my different start dates give me 4 or 9 months of experience, nothing in between. I’ll be joining in the private equity group which will be new for me.

Progression is faster if you specialize early on in any practice. Most people are willing to give up 6 months of progression for the privilege of doing diverse work, learning different things, and building a broad network.

This is time to EM, so around 3 for a BA or 2 for an ASC. Comp difference between the two choices is zero or negligible. Rushing can also add some risk to the equation for further progression.
So imo it’s a bad choice for a generalist intending to stay over the long run. (And most I know who rushed to EM left at that level).
You loose you hair faster. But that doesn’t count as tenure.
Haha, thanks for that. Definitely would only consider this if i truly enjoy it/for exit opps
Nope, the pe practices of each firm does not provide a faster progression in title (e.g. associate to consultant). It’s the same timeline for promotion.
