Will say BCG didn’t give me anytime to prep and coming from an engineering background it kinda didn’t help haha. Gotta get a CFA or something

What firm

Yeah and I was supposed to be done at the final round, but had an extra case on top of that since I guess i was borderline. Unfortunately, was the worst case I had. Recruiter called me today and didn’t give any feedback though. Just said we want to keep the door open
