BCG swag/merch for interns?

I have a few family members asking and I already got a few gifts from the firm which im grateful for, but would love to spoil my family since the gifts were like a book tailored to my interests.

Haha, this is an amazing question. 

To be honest, this differs more from office to office than firm to firm. 

So it's difficult to tell you what to expect. 

I would recommend you reach out to HR and ask if there's anything that they offer which you could share with family. In some cases they can provide you with some stuff.

Also, if you're just starting in the industry, here are two articles that cover what it takes to become a top-performer:

Best,

Hi there,

Not sure what your question is?

If you have some swag already given to you, you can do whatever you like with it! (e.g. gift it).

If you would like more swag, just ask the firm! (And ask if you can gift it).

Hi,

Some offices come with stock BCG merch - you can ask the office if its possible to take some. 

But there's actually a whole range of BCG merch available beyond what you see at your office - there is a potential way to get your hands on that but it has some restrictions. 

Drop me a dm for more info.

Hi there,

It's funny how firms are different. I never had, or even saw, a single piece of McKinsey swag during my 3 years at the firm.

I do, however, often see people with branded Bain & BCG stuff, especially backpacks out in the streets. These firms seem to have a different approach to getting their brand name out there.

Funnily enough, I used to take notes with a great BCG pen during my time at McKinsey, which was fun to write with and irritate my colleagues ;)

In summary, ask for whatever branded stuff you want. They're happy when this stuff gets out there!

Best of luck!

Moritz
