Ignore the above. Your recruiter will share the interview format for all steps of the process in detail, you just need to ask. First round is 2x45min interviews, with 30min during each dedicated to a case interview.
The case interview is critical. Practice lots of cases with a case partner, and then a consultant once you think you’re ready. Recruiting will set up a mock case interview for you with a BCG consultant if you ask them to. Good luck!

Best to prepare for at least 1 month for the case interview, ideally 3 months since you’re working and probably won’t have much time to dedicate. Get in as much varied case practice as you can, and make sure to spend time fine tuning your delivery (so that it doesn’t come across as canned/textbook, being flexible and conversational is important).

- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️
