Thoughts on BCG digital ventures? How does WLB/culture and travel compare to traditional consulting arms? I come from B4 and would like more product focused consulting but can't stomach going back to the M-Th travel grind

Travel is sporadic at DV. You travel mainly for research and for major presentations but the model is to embed clients in innovation centers where you work together on a blended team.

Work life balance varies greatly. It’s still client services so you’ll still have stupid artificial deadlines creating unnecessary late nights. But the pace overall can be better depending on the type of project you’re on. Innovation sprints, where you generate ideas, tend to be true sprints and pretty long hours. Building out the idea into a business during an incubation phase is generally better due to an overall longer timeline (except around the crunch times noted above.)

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

Wanted to share about my job search experience, and happy to answer any questions. Over the last 18 months interviewed with the following companies and failed - McKinsey, BCG, KPMG, Oracle, Google, Invesco, Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, Amazon, North highland, Microfocus, Atlassian, Orange, equifax, and a few others. Most of these are senior level positions, so interviews were tough. Didn’t get the job for one or the other reason. Finally accepted a offer with a large tech company. Keep on trying..
