Bain & Company Let’s assume I had the following options for post-MBA in NYC:

- Boston Consulting Group Digital
- McKinsey & Company Digital
- Bain & Company

What would you go for? Assuming my objective is to either make Partner as fast as possible or exit to Big Tech/ Startup

Bain non digital. Post MBA timelines aren't that different and I would not want to be shoe horned into digital work unless I already knew I was interested in that work

Why?

get the offers first then decide

I’d definitely go for:

1. BCG Digital
2. McK Digital / Bain

Digital focus is great especially if you are considering an exit into tech / startup; also, you can move both inside McK and BCG from digital to generalist

BCG Digital is the stronger brand, especially with BCG DV and BCG X

like

I actually agree with this.

The better thing is: do you know what exits you want? I’d say for the average new grad nowadays, you’re gonna want the digital exits.

If you truly have no idea, worth considering traditional but honestly you’ll probably exit to some sort of digital start-up.

like

I would go Bain No Digital.
There is no reason to limit your options to digital this early in your career. The generalist path will open better exit ops and will give you the opportunity to find what you really like to do

I can echo what M2 said

Bain forces you to do a private equity rotation so be prepared for some burners

smart

6 months and being peg enabled will help you a lot in the long run

Why would you apply BCG/McK Digitla if you don’t want that

Where did I say that?

Is BCG digital for DV or DAS?

Define BCG digital? That is an external marketing term.

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible.

So back in July I went out for a new position at my small company that was rapidly expanding (Account Manager). Was notified that I didn't get the full promotion but was told instead that I was still moving up and was going to be Customer Service/Account Manager Support. The new Account Manager had no customer service experience within our niche industry. I instead had to help help him with all customer service issues.

I feel like I am being taken advantage of. ADVISE APPRECIATED.

I work in a corp environment & wondering what others think about this -

I have a large team and after me, I have a supervisor and a manager who my supervisor reports to. The manager recently got promoted to director & my boss is likely to take her role within the next 6 mos.

I was promoted in aug and wondering if it’s crazy to ask for another promo after my boss gets manager. This wouldn’t be for 6-12mos & I will be in my role for close to a year.

Is this too soon to ask? TIA!
