When BCG states target bonus of 20-40%, what's the typical actual % for folks? Even distribution based on performance? A bunch of folks at 40% and a few people just get fired?

I was fired from BCG, in my experience they fire a very large amount of people. In my case, for powerpoints not being pretty enough. So I always felt those numbers were inflated. I never saw a bonus 🤷‍♂️.

Ludicrous or not, it happened 🤷‍♂️. No logical errors (that I know of), inability to get data right, and I work harder than anyone I’ve ever met and care about my colleagues so I doubt it’s an attitude thing.

Also those options for slides aren’t an alternative, they help improve your slides or give you ideas, 2 of the three projects I was on I wasn’t allowed to use visual services at all because it cost to much as well. Other one we used it sparingly. But there is the cheaper option I used a lot to supplement what I was doing.

Probably 50% gets target, 10-20% below target, and the rest above target at either 1.5x or 2x index

Index means 40%? Higher end of the range ?

Seems like an accurate comment though...

I’d say it skews to the left...
90% receive <20%
9% receive <30%
1% receive >30%
