Very unlikely you’ll exit at L6 as a new PL unless you have previous management experience in big tech before BCG. I exited to a PM role at level 5 after 1.5 years as PL

Base, yes. TC, no!

It will depend on your relevant experience, overall YOE, etc. Might be a bit tough though if you’re newly promoted, probably more attainable if you’re 1.5-2yr in PL tenure.

L6 is typically a tenured principal exit, unless you have relevant pre-BCG experience.

If PL exit as L6 then do APs exit as L7/8?

PLs don’t typically exit as L6, especially not new PLs

I exited to L6 (albeit in Finance) as a C2 - it heavily depends on your YOE and interview performance. If you do well I think it's feasible!

That may be a possibility in finance, but you wouldn’t even be considered for a L6 in Strategy as a C2

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I’ve been with my company for 4 years and I’m thinking about applying for a new job. For references, I would like to use my coworkers but I also don’t want to bring up the fact that I’m applying to other places. How should I handle my references when it comes to applying or interviewing with other companies?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
