BCG Africa

Question

Hi everyone and happy new year! 👋
I’m currently an MBA student at an Oxbridge and considering applying to BCG in Africa (Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria). I’d really appreciate your insights on two things:

1) Signing bonuses: Do BCG’s African offices typically offer signing bonuses for post-MBA hires? If yes, what range/conditions have people seen?
2) Internal mobility: How common/easy is it to transfer to BCG’s Middle East or London offices after 2 years, if you want exposure to different projects/sectors?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

hey there :)

Happy new year and great question. From what I have seen and from my own BCG internship experience, signing bonuses in African BCG offices do exist for post MBA hires but are less standardized and usually lower than London or Middle East, often depending on office need and candidate profile rather than a fixed range. Internal mobility after around two years is realistic if you perform well, especially towards the Middle East, while London is more competitive but still possible with strong sponsorship and a clear story. If you are flexible on timing and proactive in networking internally it becomes much easier. Feel free to reach out if you want to dive deeper.

best,
Alessa :)
