Hi All,
My LWD in Cognizant was on 21st Oct , I had returned the laptop on that day. But IT approval has not happened yet, and they are saying it will take 3 weeks to get approved, without this approval i can't download any of the documents after exit ... Has anyone faced this issue recently. Is there a way to escalate this?
Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro

4. Business team manager

I may lean more towards #2 if it’s not EYP, otherwise 1 and 2 are comparable but it depends on your experience/ background

Current EYP Director and former BCG Consultant. What do you want out of your career? If you’re really ambitious, go BCG. We do a lot of the same work as BCG; my current project we beat them and Alix out in a bake-off after they got rid of McK. But we don’t really have the same growth trajectory or opportunities.
My WLB is a lot better at EYP though, a LOT better.

#4 is essentially off the table I think. Timing doesn’t work out.
BCG on your resume will open doors
This comes down to your career and WLB goals. What are your goals?
If you want to exit to tech in 2 years anyway, then 3 is best. 2 years of mgmt in brand-name tech beats 2 years of random consulting projects.
If you want WLB. 3 is in the lead too.
If you know what industry or maybe function you want to specialize in, then 2 would be better, as managers are often tracked into one area.
But if you don't care about WLB, you don't want to work in tech long term, and you don't know or care about specializing, or maybe you are set on partner track, then pick 1. 1, if you make it to P, has the best outcome, and it preserves your flexibility for the other 3 options.
If you know you're up for director now due to your network and a hot space, consider the risk that your network may have shifted a few years from now, or that space could be less hot, or there may be more competitors in a few years. Also, exiting to something above D is a different ballgame than D, so you may have to make SM or maybe higher in consulting before above-director roles become accessible. Of course, this depends in your specialization and industry target.
How is someone who is getting consult BCG / tier 2 manager offers also interviewing for F500 Director roles? I'm based in UK but an industry director role would generally req much more experience
Anyway not trying to be mean just genuinely curious about US market
Congrats and good luck OP
Fair enough massive congrats!
1 or 3. 3 sounds most chill which is what I’d look for
Is it possible BCG can guarantee I’d be staffed on healthcare ? That’s the main thing holding me back but it seems like that’s the consensus here.
The hours don’t bother me right now. The exits are important because I’m starting a family in the next 3 years
