The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

Think about what you can do with 40k
Think about what you can do with prestige
I rest my case
OP, why are you even wasting your time at a consulting firm? If you’re tech, and want to work at FAANG, then why not just go work there now?
I’m surprised you weren’t offered senior associate at BCG if you’re getting a senior consultant role at acn
that being said, I’d take BCG - your comp will catch up and likely surpass acn by the 2 year mark (new C1 base is 175+12.5% bonus, higher for good performance), not to mention the better exits. 80k doesn’t feel good to give up for sure, but expected value of future income at/after BCG is definitely larger than that
12.5% in a normal year for average performers. 50-60% of people fall into this category. There are two more buckets above that for high and very high performers, ~18% and 25% respectively
Hmmm, if you are thinking long term and want to exit to Tech (like FAANG) - BCG is the way to go. Your comp there will also likely increase quite well over time too.
But 40k is a big difference so think to yourself how important short term vs long term is.
So I’d say - go for BCG
BCG for sure

Take the money and run
What group in BCG?
I’d go BCG but from what I’m reading you’re leaning ACN and don’t seem to be convinced otherwise.
Let me put this way- if you can stay in the saddle for 2 yrs, you make 200. 2 more years, 300. Another 2 after that, 400. And those are not just top decile numbers. And then you can switch to FAANG at L6/7 and lock in those TCs
BCG hands down. Easy.
What is your current background?
BCG all day. In two years your company will be much higher at BCG anyway
