AC1 even started the post with “I don’t work at BCG”...
Get the offer first and all the details will follow, though AC1 is in the right neighborhood on both comp and hours.

I don’t work at BCG but I would think twice before getting motivated to switch due to $$$. However, I think base should be around 150k+ for consultant plus I think 20% bonus. Project leader should be close to 200k total. I hope you understand that your hourly rate may go down significantly with the number of hours you may need to work regularly at bcg. Work for them because you like their work first and then compensation. Just my 2 cents. Also, the case interview process is a beast, I know of multiple people who prepare 6+ months full time to get good at it especially if you don’t have an MBA from top 3 or are an experienced hire.

AC1 - Humble brag much?

OP - Good luck!

Thanks all, appreciate the info. Is the Project Leader comp $200K + bonus? Or is that inclusive of the bonus. Not scared of the long hours and my primary motivation is because I think I will enjoy the work. Just wanting to understand where the compensation levels are at coming over potentially as an experienced hire.

OP: doesn’t matter whether experienced or internally promoted, base salary is the same for each tenure level and a wide range for bonus. Think almost all PLs go above $200k with bonus (assuming US; I’m not too familiar with BCG comp in other regions)

I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that AC1 works at Bain (i.e., MBB)

Then what’s the humblebrag crack? No one mentioned MBB. AC1 gave a decent answer based on his/her reasonable knowledge of BCG.

And yes, any on track PL is WELL over 200 base + bonus. And gets 10% retirement on all of that. PL2 could be over $300k all in

Looking for advice - I doubled my scope in the last few months, and have been seeking a promotion and raise to match my increased scope. The company is offering me a title increase with no change in comp until the next cycle (Feb ‘23), and a 1 year cash retention bonus (stay for a year or have to give it back). My concerns are that if I sign the retention bonus, the company no longer has an incentive to give me a good raise in February,l. Thoughts?
