Recognize that this may have been discussed but I am having difficulty finding the right thread. In the process of interviewing with BCG for PL (I am currently in consulting), but want to get a sense of TC (base/bonus/retirement) for PL1 vs PL2. Any $ or % that recent hires in BCG as PL willing to aharewould be really helpful. I get the sense I would have to take a pay cut on base comp, just trying to understand what that size of haircut maybe. Appreciate for any BCGers willing to share. Thanks!

210 base. 290 all-in as an average performer. First year

PL2 is slightly higher but the big jumps come with promotion. Or with a top rating which is highly unlikely as a new lateral.

Don’t take a “2” as a lateral. It increases your risk greatly since you have less time until an up or out decision. Don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

There are plenty of people who come is at lateral p/pr. If you were actually driving $MM of annual revenue and could bring that with you, you could lateral as a partner no problem

What’s your current level at EY? I’d be surprised if it’s a pay cut joining BCG.

Chill B2.

Base is higher than the figure suggested here, sure total comp likely higher at BCG than my current total comp at EY, but I care more about fixed than the variable portion

Just ask and HR will tell you

Hey OP, made a similar change just to Bain; would say expect lower base but higher bonus which would put you in a better TC; at least when you hit comparable level at BCG.
Overall, the decision for me was more long term as pure financial in year 1 or 2 are not that much different

Wanna DM-me? Happy to chat further

I’m intrigued but I want to know 2 things:

2. Realistic market opportunity/opportunity to crush quota (obv dependent on many things)

Background: Currently making 95k/160k OTE at a boutique research and consulting firm. I’m happy but we’re extremely flat with little to no opp for promotion in the next 2+ years.
