Is the Principal role at BCG setup by industry or function/capability? How specialized do you need to be? Should I apply for a role in an industry I have limited experience in at that level?

We don’t usually hire laterals who don’t have some kind of expertise - we train enough generalists in house. External principals typically tied to either a function or industry practice area and come with deeper expertise than homegrown counterparts

It depends. To be elected partner you have to have a platform that can be industry, function, or a blend of both. Most P1s likely have practice areas they are affiliated with, but not everyone is 100% specialized at that point

Agree with the above and would add industry experience is not hard to come by. More likely to find functional topics where we need a boost

Thank you all! Appreciate the insights.

I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?

I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.

Any Advice?
