Aakash asked on Jan 21, 2022

Hi everyone

I have offers from both Bain and BCG Dubai for Summer Consultant positions. Both the firms are offering PPOs, and hence I am looking for other data points to make my decision. The key things I am looking at are our total comp, work-life balance, quality of work (public vs private, type of clients, etc), cross-office mobility, and exit opportunities. 

Would really appreciate if someone can help me compare the two firms on these parameters or do a quick chat to share their experience. 

Regards
Aakash

Hi Aakash,

You have a million questions that will have a million answers. Is that a way a strategy consultant would approach a case? :P

Narrow this down. Of all those things you listed, which 2-3 items matter? Pay? Work-life balance? Cultural fit?

Pick the 2-3 and then only ask about those. Then we can help!

Additionally, you know it doesn't hurt to reach out to people on linkedIn and through your network to understand their experience right? This is networking 101!

I'm happy to chat about my experience, but it will be a lot more expensive than if you reach out to a few people on LinkedIn.

Good luck with your decision - you can't go wrong!

Simple answer: if I were you, I would try to make it possible to do BOTH internships! This is what many of my mentees did in the past, and they never regretted it!

Cheers, Sidi
