Those fresh grad are supported by managers and, partners with global and deep expertise, and a small army of back-office research staff.

We generally avoid "body leasing" kind of work, even when client is OK paying for that. Attracting talent is hard, and putting them in such projects is a sure way to lose people. And we generally avoid consultants on cases for more than 6mo, too short of a time for staff augmentation.

Despite BCG having 21k employees they're spread across 90 offices globally, and usually staffed. When we do get requests for large amount of people, it's a staffing nightmare.

Damn, should have taken that BCG director for digital something job when it was offered to me :-( - small army of back-office staff sounds refreshing after decades of startups and lean tech companies.
