Consulting Career Path: How to Get Promoted at Bain and BCG

Dive into the world of management consulting with Hamza and Deniz, former insiders at Bain and BCG, respectively. Hamza, once a manager at Bain London, and Deniz, an ex-consultant at BCG Dubai and Istanbul, guide you through the intricacies of a successful journey within the MBB (McKinsey, BCG, and Bain) realm.
They unpack their personal experiences, revealing strategies for career progression and detailing the stages of a consultant's trajectory. As they demystify consulting careers, they discuss roles, responsibilities, and opportunities that emerge as consultants climb the ladder of success.
Key topics explored include assuming workstream ownership, the decision-making process of pursuing an MBA versus sticking with the firm, and embracing positions of greater responsibility like project manager or partner. They also examine why some consultants might opt out of the sector, and the unique perspectives of those who re-enter after honing their skills in diverse industries.
Join us for a conversation that unveils the secret formula for success in consulting careers.
