Hi there,
I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:
- First of all, in terms of seniority, a Strategy& Senior Manager is more or less equivalent to a BCG Project Leader. It may sound more senior due to the title, but the real step up to Principal-level impact and internal responsibilities usually happens only after that.
- Moreover, salary at BCG tends to be higher than at Strategy& on the same level. Nevertheless, I would strongly advise you to think carefully about which option best aligns with your professional (and maybe even personal) mid- to long-term goals, and not to focus solely on compensation.
