    This is spot on. You'll occasionally have really long super processy projects go on for two years, but nobody below manager level would be kept on for nearly that long unless you were changing up the work you were doing and really wanted to stay.

Is the “bar to pass” the same for all candidates recruiting for the same role at MBB? Eg, if an experienced hire in consulting, MBA grad, and experienced hire from industry are all applying for the same Consultant role, would there be a higher expectations for the experienced hire in consulting?

How hard is it to get a transfer to BCG SF from a smaller office (not in the West system) after a year of tenure as a consultant? My performance has been good so far and I think it’ll be the same for my upcoming CDC as well. I want to talk to my CDA about a transfer by EOY. I lived in SF before for five years and the reason I want to move back is because I am realizing that I just enjoy being in SF a lot more (friends/lifestyle/weather). Has anyone successfully done this and any advice?
