What are the exit opps for BCG X? (the tech & design building unit of BCG - think eng, strategy, design, product management)

Do exit opps really care if I am from BCG X vs BCG core? Or will they respect the brand either way as long as my experience is on par?

Please don’t answer this as someone who hasn’t tried to get an exit opp from BCG X or who isn’t part of another industry who can offer insight.

You’ll have a good choice of exit ops that align to your role type so if you’re a product manager you’ll have good options at your current level and up. I get hit up for FAANG roles and other sr roles based on my industry experience

Thank you, this was helpful.

X is a big umbrella now - a Gamma Data Scientist, DV PM, and Platinion Architect are all very different positions to be in.

You'll likely receive a more detailed answer if you can get a bit more specific about who you are and where you'd like to go.

What exit do YOU want?

I think you might have a harder time vs core BCG if you wanted to go to some internal strategy core that is full of ex-consultants, but if you're a data scientist who'd like to continue being a data scientist, I think it's a fantastic brand.

Well BCG X has existed for like 90 days, so if you’re only interested in answers from folks who have left BCG X your sample size is going to be pretty small.

And yes, obviously exit opps care — because they care about your experience, as in what you actually did. The only value of the brand is to get you that first look.

“BCG X” is newer, but the work & roles have existed for years through the old brand names.
