So I'm interviewing for Knowledge Analyst CFO Excellence role at Boston Consulting Group. And I was wondering is it worth it? I heard that it's a dead end position and won't help me get into consulting. Is this true? Because I would like to one day get my MBA and be a consultant at MBB. I already have a full time offer from Deloitte for Audit. Should I just do that, get the MBA then move to MBB or start in this position and then try to move up? Is the position worth it?

You’re much better being at BCG if you want to go into consulting long run and get an MBA. That’s what I’m working towards and I’m also on Knowledge team. I have a friend at Deloitte Audit who is trying to get into BCG CFO Excellence and they were rejected — the skills you learn in big four auditing really narrow your career opportunities to just audit/accounting while starting in consulting develops your strategic thinking

Way better than audit. Take it.

Why would they say a dead end position? If you are qualified to be a consultant then you can be one. There are so many professionals making a switch into a different field. Like healthcare to consulting, Sales to tech.

It is basically doing an associate role for much less pay. It is possible to move to CT but not for a few years - won’t even entertain the conversation. You’d be better off doing Expert consulting track if you can
