What’s the general consensus on product manager roles at McK/BCG? I see them posted pretty frequently but am kind of missing how they fit in the overall ladder/comp etc.

Second class to trad consultants, underpaid compared to tech, not true product management

Well I kind of figure anything not in the core ladder is kind of “second class” comparatively speaking. But good to know.

A1 hit it on the head. I’m a PM now at a midsize startup (~150 people) and get paid maybe 40k better than BCG digital ventures PM. As a former consultant I laughed at the pay difference (maybe 115k for more YOE than a C out of undergrad). Laughable as a former consultant.

In addition to lower pay, it’s also lower ownership over the work. You don’t really get to have your own vision — I felt like it was more implementation for the clients. Kind of cool that you’re going from 0 to 1 (concept to real product), but someone else is setting the terms and defining what they want which is less exciting than owning it yourself (but also less stressful).

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
