Hey there,
Speaking for BCG here
West Coast offices are weighted towards retail and technology sectors. For tech, we usually do go to market, organizational design cases.
For NY system on the East Coast, I know BCG has a strong financial institutions, private equity, public sector, pharmaceuticals practice.
Hope that's helpful!
