Thoughts on BCG Platinion?
Would you take a $20k bump to work in person 5 days/week? (Remote Fridays in the summer) & there’s a chance the company will eventually go back to hybrid. you also get the flexibility on ur work hours so could do a 7am-3pm schedule to avoid traffic
why is Accenture stock cratering?
I’m 33 and starting to feel like I’m aging out of consulting. This is a young man’s game and I now have 3 kids and am tired. Time to plot my exit to industry 🙂.
People being let go bc of comparing performance against peers is bs. upgrading the team? how come other rigorous fields (investment banking, medicine, Big Law, oil & gas engineering, trading firms, etc) don’t feel the need to do this, yet they have the right people the teams need every year 😂 consulting isn’t the most rigorous/difficult/or prestigious career. just say it’s for the greed of the firm, at the cost of unempathetically uprooting employees lives & at least you’ll be honest.
Anyone else applying everywhere and hearing nothing?
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

Me too
What do you want to know? What do you do? What do you want to do?
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 🤷🏼♂️
