I work for a boutique and we recently pitched to a VC against BCG who offered to do a benchmarking exercise for ??11,000.
For the project in question I can't see how BCG would have not made a loss on this project. In fact I can't believe BCG are undertaking work for peanuts like this. They must be bloody desperate. |

First, it's extremely rare that clients disclose the offers of rival consulting firms. Second, I think you forgot a zero or two at the end of that figure. I know that PE projects are generally just a few days or maybe 2 weeks, but even in PE, BCG would never bother for a trifling sum like $17K. They really do have bigger fish to fry.
