Just got an BCG pre-mba experienced hire interview. Is there any way I can tell what level I will go in? I have 2 years at a tier 2 under my belt. Any tips for the interviews? Thanks!

They have a Senior Associate position which is a year away from Consultant and only for experienced hires

I think Associate. Consultant is for post mba. So I dont think you can get to Consultant level right away and with only 2 YOE.

Interesting. To my knowledge, BCG starts at associate then goes to senior associate and then consultant.

If I come in as an associate, I'm basically demoted and I assume a paycut assuming all associates get the same (starting) salary?

Some more info - If I'm currently performing post-MBA or one year away from there, would I be funneled into senior associate instead?

Thanks everyone!

P1 - I don’t see any contradiction. Say more...

OP - SA would keep you flat / a bit up with a 12-24 month path to $200+. And 2 more years to 260-300k.

Advice needed! I started at an ID firm only a few months ago after a long stint doing in-house litigation. I was referred to the firm by a very good friend who also still works there. A management position at my old in-house firm has now been offered to me. Higher salary obviously and no billables. I am seriously dreading talking to my new boss and telling my friend that I want to go back in-house. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I just feel so bad and don’t want to burn bridges
