Hi All - Could someone help me understand how does Strategy& (London) Senior Manager role compares with BCG's Principal and Project Leader roles in terms of seniority and salary expectations?

Hi there, 

You can expect the Strategy& Senior Manager role to be equivalent to the BCG PL role in terms of seniority and responsibility.

Compensation-wise, you can expect BCG to be somewhat more generous, as they are in most geographies. 

However, do compare this across different sources, and even better, try asking this question in coffee chats in a more indirect way with consultants from these two companies.

It's largely comparable. BCG will almost certainly pay more.

Worth checking on GlassDoor for salary information.

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.
