Thinking of defecting to BCG (personal reasons including need to relocate + mentors left the firm for industry). Any thoughts from people who’ve been at both on culture, type of work, health, etc?

Well you did 🤷‍♂️

In theory though, you’d have to build a new local mentor network whether you left for BCG or relocated within McK. Why not just relocate here? Probably easier

B2, the opposite is true. A/C don’t need a network. More senior staff would be given time to build one.

It depends on the system. If you’re in the South (or trying to relocate there), I would not recommend BCG.

West Coast and Midwest are both known for having incredible work life balance (though it’s still consulting 🤷🏼‍♂️), and culture. I don’t know anyone who has issues with BCG culture that aren’t related to consulting in general (e.g., long hours, client service pressures, etc). Team orientation and collaboration are real things here.
