Is there a position called Associate Partner or Associate Principal at BCG? I went on a date with a guy who said he is the AP and I am trying to figure if that is true.

he is probably just an associate

He is an associate to the partner

Either he got his firm or title wrong... weird red flag

Ask him about a xls hot key. If he knows it and is excited, then he's clearly very junior and cannot be trusted. If he looks confused, has to think, but still knows it, you should inquire more. If he doesn't know it, he's either not a consultant or a full partner, and lied again.

Nope

He lied! Also can't you just look him up on LinkedIn?

They're called just Principals at BCG. AP is what we use at McKinsey.

He probably has or will lie about other..."shortcomings", if you will.

My guess he is a principal but used mckinsey terminology to come across as partner

Maybe you did connect! Stop thinking about whether he lied until you find his last name and check via linkedin

So I asked him his last name seven hours ago, no response. I guess the case is closed!!

like

Ok it is weird. He came to meet me from a client meeting wearing jeans and a casual shirt. I don't know his last name to check him out on Linkedin. When I asked him details he did talk about the two tracks- consulting as well as the Business dev track. He talked about an AP role which is just below the Principal level. I really don't care that much about his role, but more so about the need to lie if he is lying.

like

Oh yes, I will. Especially since he "really really likes me very much"!!!
bcg2- you are the sweetest, let me figure out his last name

like

We don't have these roles and we don't have a Biz Dev track. We have Associate Directors and Directors on our Expert track but that doesn't sound like what he told you. Run away...

like

My guess would be his actual job is some sort of a staff role...not client facing , with an inflated job title. I'd bet he didn't know that you were a consultant when he was talking.

like

Common...cut that guy a slack..give him the benefit of doubt and chance..don't rule him out, he's probably nervous and splurted the first thing that came out of his mouth.. like if somebody asked me what I do I'd probably say Engagement Directing Managing Partner..

like

No idea, am trying not to be hard on him or jump to conclusions, given that he told about a previous marriage and another relationships, but we also know the world is full of half-truths. I never asked him what he did, when we met online. He asked me what I did for work, I said I was a Manager with Deloitte and he responded, he was a BCG/P. So there was no pressure to lie about anything. So annoyed right now since I thought we connected to some extent when we met. Thanks fam!!!

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

A few extravert friends texted me over the weekend, panicking about WFH mandates and being socially isolated. I do not share their pain! Nice of them to care, though ❤️
