Do well on the case study! Practice with others, get a good cross section on case. Be comfortable in structuring “on the fly” and communicating in a succinct manner.

For BCG, the interview shouldn’t depend on the practice unless you’re interviewing for an expert consultant position (and even then I’d still recommend preparing as if you’re interviewing for a generalist role). #1 thing that matters is case performance but make sure you have some good professional anecdotes prepared for the personal interview section as well.

Interviewed recently at BCG - you need both BCG1 is right like doing well on case and driving it but also behavioral- I felt like BCG really values the response to its few behaviorals also based on feedback I got from my R1

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
