At BCG, Associates typically bring 0–4 years of full-time work experience. Whether you're early in your career or transitioning from a different path, we value the diverse skills and perspectives you offer. Previous consulting experience is not required—we welcome a range of backgrounds and industries. If you’re excited to grow, learn, and make an impact, the Associate role could be the perfect fit.
