1. Consultant role at BCG
2. Manager role at S&/OW/EYP
3. Business team manager role at salesforce (middle of process)

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.

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.

like

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.

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.
