Thoughts on BCG Platinion?
6
Didn’t get promoted and thinking of leaving Deloitte for the next level at Guidehouse. It’s a title bump so I would get a raise, but I’m trying to weigh the opportunity cost of going to a “lower tier” firm known for more niche services. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you choose? Would this limit my exit opps?
How much better did your WLB get after leaving consulting? I’m moving to an internal strategy role at a client. Financial Services - Banking. In consulting - standard day was closing my laptop between 9pm - 10pm and eating dinner at my desk. I’m expecting industry to be better, but not that much. Maybe closing my laptop between 6pm - 7pm? I haven’t been able to ask anyone in the bank what it’s like, as this is a new team. I’m benchmarking on other client strategy offices.
Seems like a great group of people. From what I heard, you’re just treated as part of the regular BCG project team, not like a second class citizen. However, I declined an offer there since the big con is you can’t become an equity partner. Because of this, to me, it’s kind of the worst of both worlds. You get paid less and also don’t have the partner carrot as a motivator but are still part of the project team working the same brutal hours. So ultimately, you get the normal BCG experience (with a little less comp) and still solid exits but have a lower ceiling internally.
Thanks, that’s helpful

Not any more. It’s changing right now thru a bit of a reorg of digital capabilities. Path to partner was part of announcement. Details being ironed out thru Q4.
I like it 🤷🏼♂️
