Hi all
I have about 5 years of industry experience in 2 industries. When I apply to BCG, what options do I have?
I know they have Expert and General track. Would I be eligible to both?
If so, what are the pros and cons of each?
thank you.

Hi,
from a recent recruitment event, I understood the following:
Matrix Setup (how the company is organized, which practices exist):
What are your options if you are unsure about which practice or industry you want to go into or are a mature hire?
During and after, you will be responsible for your own staffing (i.e. reaching out to project leaders/partners who have sold a certain project), so are pretty much in charge of which type of projects you are doing regardless of whether or not you are able to do the three tracks that I layed out.
Again, this is just what I remember them telling us, so don't quote me on it, but it should give you a first idea. Signing up for 'Backstage' events near you is a good way to learn about these things, though!
All the best :)
At the time of this writing and to the best of my knowledge, you have the following options to select from:
Generalist Path:
Specialist Path:
BTO (IT Strategy and Digital in BCG) Path:
Implementation Path:
I hope these provide you with the clarity you need.
Hi,
It depends on how many years you have in a particular industry. I would say that if you have less than 3.5 years in an industry / function - apply as a generalist
Generalist track in most of the cases will have faster growth and more options and opportunities. The only exception is any Digital track - these topics are booming now
Best!
