Hi all,
I’d appreciate some perspectives from those who’ve faced a similar choice or have experience in the DACH market.
I’m currently at a Tier 2 (~Strategy&, Kearney, Wyman) in the DACH region at the Senior Consultant level. I’ve been with the firm for several years, have consistently strong performance reviews, and have built a great internal and client network. Based on my current trajectory, I will be promoted to project leader in 2026.
I’ve received an offer from BCG DACH at the Consultant level (equivalent to my current role), with possible promotion to project leader expected in ~1–2 years. The work would be similar to what I do now, but with the advantage of a stronger global brand, more strategic client work, broader opportunities, and a larger network. I’m very grateful for this offer, especially given the challenging market conditions right now.
Question:
Would you take the BCG offer now for the brand, learning opportunities, and long-term upside - or stay at my current firm to continue your strong career trajectory and further leverage your existing network and stable environment?
Personally, I’m leaning toward accepting the BCG offer because of the stronger brand, the more strategic project portfolio, and the value of the BCG network. I know my firm‘s strengths and weaknesses well at this point, and a move feels exciting after this long period at my current firm. MBB has always been my goal, and I think I’m ready.
Happy to receive your opinion.
