Thinking of applying to BCG, but what I want to know is how much life science work one can truly do at BCG (%-wise and what kind - e.g., TA strategy, P&MA, due diligence), and is the WLB worse (this might be a no brainer but I’m genuinely curious if anyone can speak to how it compares to ClearView). If it is worse, do BCG folks feel like the comp makes up for it? For context I have a PhD with <2 YOE. I’m also curious on whether folks think WFH is here to stay as an option for BCG in the future

There are at least a couple of ex-CVers at BCG currently based on LinkedIn. You’ll probably get the best direct comparison and trade off answers from those individuals. I’d be surprised if they weren’t willing to chat given their decision.

I know a LEK LSS, (already paid more than CV) who moved to BCG last year, that has found the work and comp far more attractive overall with no regrets in the move.

Similar question to yours. Thought this would be helpful

Following - I'm an em/ap and have always wondered what mbb would offer title wise if I asked for a switch. I'd assume post-mba titles but nothing higher

BCG has active openings for experienced PLs/Principals on their Pharma team so depending on your YOE, maybe education, and project experience / resume you may be able to land one one of those. McK may have similar openings.

But short of that, I’d imagine the same in terms of the post-MBA title with a potential fast track to PL/EM.

IMO, it’s much better to have applied and failed / had the option to switch than to only have wondered and potentially regretted not trying one day. I believe the same for any exits that one is interested in.

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?
