@OP, difference in clients (USG vs non-USG), public vs private companies, strategy/finance vs cyber security, global vs us and pockets of international presence. Understand that in some markets we may be similar but from an organizational view, Apples and Oranges IMHO. I’d be curious to hear perspectives of those from Bain and BCG.

Why compare? Booz Allen is a significantly different company than those you are comparing to.

Associates are hired straight from undergrad at BCG. The title “consultant” is given to those hired out of MBA, PhD, MD, or JD degrees, or to Associates promoted after approximately 2 years in role.

How do you strategically answer the question “what is your expected pay range?” when the pay range listed is $20-$40/hr (salaried) and you want to negotiate towards $45/hr? I feel like I shocked my interviewers when I told them my expectations. I haven’t really experienced this feeling but I understand the shock since I’ve been on the other side. I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.
