Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.

If they’re building out the team I know a great analyst who can hit the ground running 👀
Yes
If you’re really unhappy, take it. The financial upside is always possible through making the right moves down the line.
Usually, I would say stick out in consulting for 1-2 years. The first 6 months are the worst, but I get the stress of starting a role like this during a pandemic.
Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated!
I am quite sure it will actually be a good career move, however it still feels like taking quite a leap of faith

^^^ all of the above + toxic fear-driven culture (especially evident in certain practices where nearly all juniors have resigned or requested to re-align), heavy index of procurement / operations work, mediocre pay
Yes take it - might as well get paid more as you learn the ropes. Make sure they have a good training options with lots of internal resources to learn more. Also ask if you’ll have a development mentor/manager to help you along the way.
Thanks for the input! Definitely important areas to consider!
What would be the chances of going back into consulting down the line (without MBA)? I know it is rather easy for people with previous consulting experience, but would 6 months be considered as previous consulting experience by future employers?
Slalom hires people without an MBA and it’s a great place to work IMO
Can you stay at least for 1 year?
I'm not sure only 5 months of consulting experience will be viewed positively- imagine you're a hiring manager or a head hunter and you read your resume without any additional context - you might run the risk of them thinking that you switch around a lot or were counseled out
I think it also has to do with your skill set, personality, and what you’re actually like to work with.
I know someone who hopped through 4 consulting gigs all within a span of 5/6 years. Probably makes a ton more money, but still a Sr. Consultant because (personal opinion) they have a suckish personality and are entitled.
Conversely I know someone else who went through a 3 consulting gigs is a Sr Manager in early 30s. Has an awesome personality, is down to earth, and a pleasure to work with.
All depends on how you sell it.
