BCG has fixed salary bands for all North America. Guessing you’ll slot into an Associate role which is below $100k

like

BCG has fixed salary bands. There is no negotiation.

The starting total comp for 1st year associates is $104k (Bass salary $90k)

You would likely come in as a Senior Associate. Base pay is $120k and total comp is $140k.

Try to push for coming in as a Consultant and base pay will be $165k and total comp $195k.

None of the above includes the signing bonus.

Everything above is true.
- You’ll either come in as Associate at $100k TC (plus free healthcare) and a 24 month clock for Consultant (our post-MBA role) promo which is $200k TC.
- Or you’ll come in as an SA at $120-140k TC with a theoretical 12 months clock to promo evaluation (which can feel really stressful) but often takes 18 months
- Comp is very standardized. There isn’t much wiggle room. If you are leaving year end bonus or significant equity on the table at your old place, you might have a little bit of leeway on signing bonus. 
- We probably won’t ask comp expectations, because it is what it is

Pay grades are pretty standardised. Google what level you’re looking at and see what BCG offer.

Hi Fishes,

I have 1 HR related query.
Suppose I got an offer from X company with A package.
Now when asking the Y company that i have got an offer of A from X company, they are asking why you are looking for more offers, that is pretty good money.
And what is the guarantee that after taking our offer you will join us only?
You will not go to any other company in the same fashion?
What can be the best answer for this, please provide your inputs here!!


Thanks in advance :)

I did some pruning and trimming yesterday and today. As well as raking. More.
