Looking for some opinions here... currently working on the business side at BCG, 10 YOE, top MBA. Kinda sick of the slow pace of the business + lack of leadership in current org. I started the interview process to come in as a C2, but in the meantime, also interviewed with Apple for GSM. Both sound like a real increase in lack of WLB. More money in consulting. About the same to join Apple. I'm hoping to start a family in the next ~2 years so this could be too ambitious. Thoughts?

Stay at BCG for three reasons

1) You're currently at BCG, so there's a possibility of making better connections once you start as a C2. You're also credible in the organization which you need to build from scratch at Apple

2) The WLB seems similar so there's no incentive to switch and there's more money in consulting 100% cash, so you can save that till you plan a family

3) Since you're planning to start a family, consulting can provide you with better exit opportunities (better WLB) which you can start figuring out from the next year

Additionally if you're promoted to a project leader then that's even a stronger resume point than apple GSM imo
