I have recently completed my PhD from a leading Asian program in the area of supply chain management. I also have 1.5 years work experience prior to my PhD, which I completed in about 3 years. I have lots of leadership experience in various social forums.
I recently interviewed with BCG and received an offer for an entry-level Associate (post-undergrad) position. I am keen to take up the offer if it is for the position of Senior Associate or Consultant-in-Training.
I think I have a good chance of landing up a better position with the Big-4 given their interest in Supply Chain Management.
Is the offer a reflection of the state of the market or is this because BCG does not recognise Asian programs ?? (I know they take students from IIM at Senior Associate Level) Should I reconsider and take up the offer ?? What are the pros and cons of joining at Associate level after a PhD. I fear that it would be hard to explain to future employers why I took up the position after my PhD.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
