For all intents & purposes, KT (particularly Client Focus track) is a fully staffed consultant. Albeit, you’re substantially cheaper than typical CT track.

Really it’s a cheaper way for BCG to get extra headcount on cases. That said, usually KTers come in with knowledge in a particular field so add immediate & meaningful value to a team beyond that of a typical A or C who are great workhorses. Partners value KT and will look to you as an expert from day one {intimidating but cool}, so you can cozy up to them pretty quickly in comparison to CT, as youre aligned to their practice area.

On the flip side, you’ll work the exact same hours as CT (coming off a case with ~5 80hr weeks) all while getting paid significantly less than CT.

Question of “is it worth it” is interesting. From a dollar/hr view, no absolutely not worth it. From a way into BCG, getting the name on your resume, work on cool cases + build your brand as a intelligent & hard working person & maybe switch into CT, that’s up for you to decide.

If you worked 5 80-Hr weeks in a row as KT, something is seriously off. You (and your manager) need to better establish boundaries with your case teams clients. Not every week will be 40 hours, but as KT a key advantage of the role (and justification for lower pay) is WLB. But you have to establish and enforce boundaries to make that a reality - CT aren’t going to do that for you

Think a lot of people, me included, have been reached out to about this

FYI - very few KT move to front end consulting. Possible but far less than 10 percent. Many best performers leave for other consulting firms

Your pay is prob 50 percent Of consulting CT

Ok cool thank you all! Exactly what I thought :)

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.
