Booz is a US$1bn business and latestBCGrevenues shows US$3.7bn. I do not thinkBCGis immune to acquisition. Combine someprivate equitymoney with the treasure chest/scale of an auditing firm (or worst an IBM) and who knows what can happen.

BCGhas been "laying off" a portion of its consultant class recently in the Chicago office (some consultants were less than a year into their job), so I wouldn't necessarily be so confident about the security ofBCGeither.

The CEO's email came off as sounding a bit smug.

If by "laying off" you mean transitioned out because they didn't cut it. It's up or out, even in your first year.

A solid email, albeit interesting he discusses differentiation while I have seen reliable Information thatBCGis focusing on change management as a growth area, which is definitely implementation....and in that same messaging identifyingDeloitteas the main competitor.Deloittebeing a proxy for big 4 in general who all compete in that space.

That said I have a friend from University atBCGand he was a very impressive guy so maybe you can differentiate your change offering from the rest of us.

As for smug, I think that may be more pride in themselves and what they've done. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Disagree with your synopsis though. If you picked Booz overBCGbecause you didn't care about prestige, well, have fun working atPwC.

Prestige is not just a line item on your resume, but often (obviously not guaranteed - see:ML), is a sign of strength.MBBare more prestigious because they have better client relationships and sell more work. In turn, they are less likely to need to be acquried (of course any of these firms could be).

Pick the people you like, but beware of where you're going and make sure that it's not going to be a different place in six months.

Completely disagree. The vast majority of people who join consulting firms are going to leave the firm within 1-3 years. So, rather than culture, you should most definitely choose based on what kinds of impact joining a firm will have on your next steps and your long-term career goals. If you get to choose between two firms of equal prestige, then culture should be a big consideration.

Honestly the fact that the CEO need to comment on this merger through a companywide email is extremely smug.

为什么?假装someth会更好吗ing big didn't just happen in the industry that all of your employees work in? I think it is more a sign of leadership.
