What is the general consensus on BCG Digital Ventures? It seems like a cool, unique opportunity to work in a more creative environment than a typical BCG consulting role. Any DV’s here?

Never worked with them, but heard that it’s a very different culture haha. Seems like it’s a bit too laid back for some traditional BCG folks

like

Haven’t worked directly with them either, but from some of the DV people I’ve spoken to they’re very strict about having startup experience. Also the culture is definitely different from traditional consulting (definitely more creative).

One of my close friends was staffed on a DV project and loved it, they took a problem statement, turned it into a concept, and developed it to launch. He loved it and said it felt like a startup experience but with the safety/security of a big company (but I guess security is inherently not a startup experience...). Sounds like a great place to experience innovation.

Correct

One other thought: bcg dv is not the only innovation shop in the consulting world. Deloitte has Doblin, Accenture has Fjord, and I’m sure there are similar groups all around.

Think it’s similar to Deloitte Digital and Doblin

Look elsewhere. DV is floundering and being pulled into BCG. They pay a fraction of BCG wages, expect BCG hours and travel, and have well-noted cultural issues (harassment, abuse of power, rigged feedback processes).

Hmm... that sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. Less type-A than traditional consulting, start-up type environment. Any anecdotal advice on what other skills / experiences they look for? I’ve read their job descriptions but curious to hear from someone who’s at least a bit closer to the source

Anyone at DV, Doblin or the other innovation practices mentioned here able to speak to what covid looks like there?

I'm afraid the "cool stuff" will be the first to get cut. Realistically, ethnographic research methods will be in limited demand in a survival/cost cutting world. I hope they have a ledge to hold onto though, wouldn't want to see consulting regress to being just agents of layoffs again

So I finished my 3rd interview with a company and the TA specialist said they loved me but can’t meet me at my bottom line salary, however, I said I can negotiate and she said she’s going to speak with the decision makers and see if they’re okay with that. What does this mean? This is for a marketing specialist role. I’m asking for $70K bottom line

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
