Will you take a pay cut to join a strategy consulting firm? Though it’s painful, I think it make sense for the longer term

Money follows experience. Go for it if you can take that pay cut hit.

Over a 2 year period would you break even? You might join and find that you don’t want to do T2 consulting for over 2 years, let alone 1 year haha. Maybe a signing bonus would tilt the calculation?

Yes, ensure to map out and project earnings for the next 4-5 years with Tier 2 on your resume

I am not sure you would have to take pay cut ? Salaries are definitely higher compared to Big 4 levels inspite of role cut !

I Took a large paycut to go from corp strategy into REPE. Break even timeline for me is roughly 4 years, and I think it’s easily worth it looking beyond that

First 8 weeks as an Associate after jumping from Big4:

Pros - super smart/driven colleagues, more unique/interesting work, more ownership, benefits are awesome, traveling frequently, more technical work, more frequent feedback

Cons - hours are worse, much faster timelines, having to learn the BCG way quickly, much higher expectations, less ability to choose cases

Overall very happy with the switch so far - happy to answer any questions!
