McKinsey & Company I’ve been working at ZS in technology consulting for healthcare clients for 4.5 years now and looking to transition to either McKinsey or BCG.
I’m looking to connect with people who are working or have interviewed here recently to get guidance on the process and how I can prepare for it.
Please comment here or DM me if you’re willing to help? McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group BCG Digital Ventures BCG Platinion

Yes, you do
~20k - but Platinion hours and travel are way less than TA, and there is no up or out pressure so up to you to decide if the extra $1000/pay check is worth the additional workload and stress.
BCG TA?
Ta = Technology Advantage
@BCG1 Its a bit more, I think around 30 - 40k, especially after the BCG salary bump. @SC1 Its the same in both.
I was in Platinion - I traveled the same M-Th as everyone else. I worked directly on BCG case teams with BCG As/Cs (same team room, same hotel, etc) and worked the same hours.
I enjoyed the content and the challenge, but got a better offer somewhere else
4 yrs exp @ generalist = 180-190
Whereas Platinion folks with 6+ years of exp made around 130k
Also, no one at Platinion has ever been elected an equity partner
So are you allowed to transfer to BCG midway? I don’t want to be a partner, but I do want more $$$ than a B4. Does it seem odd that experts are paid less than generalists?
PM me if you want to talk specifics
Great thanks...
Following. Are you interviewing?
@BCG2 Joining BCG Platinion soon, do we get the same flight privileges? i.e. First class for flights >90 mins?
SC1 what level are joining at and how long was your hiring process?
I think you’d be able to leave early without eyebrows. Why would you stay as late as someone earning 40k more than you?
@2 same experience. Hours in PLA (non-Maya) cases are similar if not the same to generalist hours. Pay is significantly less
Well tbh, I’m at a B4, and i work til 1030pm for even less than what P offers.
Bcg2 is that why you left BCG or did you transfer to generalist track
BCG2- when you say pay is significantly less, what percentage/ $ amount are you talking?
Bcg2 what are exit opportunities like?
