Good DFW tax recruiter?
Which company would you join?
I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).
I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.
Help!
Looking for a position in Las vegas !?

If that’s what they’re like when they’re trying to recruit you imagine what they’d be like to work with.
Yuck...some one from BCG should take note and ream the recruitment team.
Totally unacceptable - if you DM details I’m happy to follow up with our team
OP — please share the details with the MDP here. Sorry for what happened to you. We need to make sure that this is not repeated and right action is taken.
Yikes - apologies, completely inexcusable. If you feel comfortable sharing office / region and industry / practice area, I’m happy to send a not along to the right folks

Would lose respect for you if you continued with them even after an apology. They don’t respect you or your time, and as someone else said, even if it was partner it’s not an upgrade if you’re close to partner at your T2. In either case you’re in up or out mode til MDP.
Partner at a T2 is better than Principal or Partner at BCG. Get it. You’re not an undergrad or new MBA. You’re past the branding thing.
Thank you so much ! I have decided to focus on my growth where I am
doesn't surprise me that BCG did this to you
Similar situation. Talking to other firms now; had a not so good experience with BCG as well but not to the same extent as yours; never again. This is an example of you could be jumping from a hopper to a frying pan; a name branded frying pan doesn’t matter; the situation could be worse than where you are.
That’s a mess. Who asks an interview candidate to email their thoughts!?
🙈.
Sorry to hear
Principal is an SM equivalent and Partner is an associate partner/Director equivalent (non equity) at BCG so keep that in mind if you have strong chances for equity partner at your current T2.
“Managing Director and Partner”
Really sorry for your bad experience. It’s inexcusable.
We take recruiting very seriously and the process is intended to be highly respectful. Even for folks in undergrad we take a lot of care.
Please do follow up with the MD above, and sorry again
Thanks to all the kind BCGers who have cared to respond. I tried to get time with the hiring MDPs and couldn’t get it very quickly. Looks like they are busy. Overall I get the firm is growing , it’s tier 1 et al but I am thankful I have experienced it now and realised its not for me.
Lots of respect for the intellect but not for the approach. I shall end the discussion here.
