What is the hiring process of persistent systems? I am done with one technical round and got an email with subject line as 'feedback' but in mail it is written that they will get in touch with me. What does that mean? Will there be more technical round or managerial round?

I think the firm is still figuring out how these roles evolve. BCG makes no comp/promotion distinction for the expert and generalist paths. MEs do sales all the time, by the way. I'm an Expert trying to take the expert AP path as making partner from Sr.Expert is (almost) impossible (1/50 at best)
Ya ME i still understand since they dont manage projects and have no sales responsibility but the Expert Partner seems to do everything that a General Partner does i.e. ED projects, sell business manage client relationships etc. why would you not move them to senior partner?
I still think "Master Expert" is a hilarious title
A bigger question is why do most experts not end up as partners/master experts (dumb title, by the way). Seems a little unfair to bring in expertise and treat them with a bias.
Exactly identical training. We are expected to have all elements of the Consulting tool kit, work with multiple clients at the same time (as an EM-equivalent, which is earlier in tenure than a generalist would split time as an AP) and bring specialization to the table. Pay starts on par, but trajectory is less steep (boggles my mind why that is the case). And making partner is less likely (Master Expert is unicorn land).
Got it what does it take to move to Expert AP from expert as opposed to going the senior expert route?? Anything in particular and how easy/difficult is it?
Still figuring it out myself. I'm told that working on several LOPs and finding new work or winning back old clients will get you halfway there. I currently do some of that, but this certainly is not the traditional route. I do see the firm slowly realizing the benefit of specialization though. Clients absolutely love it.
@mckin1 can you tell me a little bit more about the training that experts receive. Do they get the same problem solving, and business training that generalists receive or do you only receive training that is focused on your skillset
Also is pay on par w equivalent generalist levels below partner
So what is your expert track guys? What are positions / comp? Ours is expert PL, expert Principal, Associate Director and Director, the latter two being sort of partner equivalents. Up to expert principal comp is same, then it becomes less steep but still pretty good
Specialist-Expert-Sr.Expert (most stagnate here)-Master Expert/Entity Partner. Comp diverges more past the Expert level....Still good compared to Industry. One advantage is being able to drive your destiny to some extent (hours, clients, travel etc.)
Thanks! What is the comp of sr expert vs EM btw?
I understand this track but I still dont get the difference between the Expert Associate Partner /Associate Partner and the legacy Expert Partner(not master expert) which has now been reclassified as Partner but these Expert Partners will never make Senior Partner. How are they different from a usual Partner and why dont they move up?
So where are expert APs in McK1's classification?
