Thoughts on BCG Platinion?
6
I like my job alot. I work with smart people. I have a ton of flexibility. All in (salary, bonus, equity) I make $300k mcol. It's kind of a dead end, I'm not gonna make partner and it's PE backed so I could lose my job at any time. At some point I'll probably be laid off because that just seems to be the new reality. I struggle with looking for a new role because I like my role. But also I feel lazy just chilling. Sanity check if I should try to jump and get back on the escalator or enjoy it?
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?
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

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 🤷🏼♂️
