So Big 4 M with 5 YOE to BCG, no MBA: can I expect a Consultant role at BCG? Would they want me to get an MBA down the line? Essentially I want to skip the MBA and go straight to post-MBA type MBB roles but not sure if there’s totally unrealistic

Yeah you could come in as a C. You are not expected (and sponsored) to get an MBA - do well and you will get promoted to PL that’s all

I think they normally will pitch you a senior associate role. That’s why I rejected the offer.

Yeah won’t take the senior associate role unless I’m guaranteed a very quick promotion

Yeah if you can guarantee a superior performance unmatched by other home-grown senior associates/junior consultants lol

Depends on geo, but with >5 YOE and manager role in consulting you should be able to push for C vs Sr A (should start discussion before interviews)

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?
