I can't code. Can I apply for Platinion directly?

How is BCG Platinion? Can I apply to generalist role (Technology Advantage) and BCG Platinion at the same time in NA? I don’t have much tech background (Can’t code) but I love digital and TMT projects?

Hi there,

Platinion requires zero coding. 

GAMMA is the one that works in R, Python, etc. Platinion are really consultants, just in the Tech space.

Now, “loving” digital and TMT is not enough either…if you have Tech-related experience on your resume (i.e. tech projects), then you'll be a good fit! Otherwise, if there's nothing tech related on your resume you are likely better off applying generalist.

But, to answer your main question, coding is not required for Platinion

Hi,

I would suggest that you apply to ageneralist role. Platinion hires typically have backgrounds in enterprise architecture etc.
