It’s generally the same, though partners have more flexibility to do whatever they want. I’d say on average they may actually be easier. They’re likely to be related to whatever industry and/or function each partner you’re interviewing with focuses on. If you’re coming in with expertise in that industry or function, you be have a discussion about it to for them to test your knowledge and opinions
Thank you! This is super helpful.
Interview is on Friday next week so im excited but also nervous!
Speak less not more
Makes sense - unfortunately my nerves definitely don't help too much there
Pass the vibe check. I talked a lot with them about things I saw in their office or on them that I thought we could connect over. Had a case partner get dinged for coming off as arrogant (they were).
When I struggled, I was upfront about really enjoying the problem but that I was stuck about the solution if they pushed me down too many scenarios I didn't have experience in. After we wrapped, I asked if they had worked on that case and if so what their solution had been. Their answer was often yes, and we both enjoyed talking about it.
No tricks, however more probing and pushing backs. One of my case did not even finish, the interviewer kept probing and pushing towards many different direction until time ran out lol. I passed but still, that was entertaining.
This was exactly my experience!! My partner case went overtime because there was so much probing, pushing and “where should we take this to next” until I found the exact next place to look at. I came out with knots in my back.
One of the partners who interviewed me just handed me the case on paper and was like, "let me know when you've figured it out" & started answering emails. It went okay, but it was super off-putting and honestly one of the reasons I didn't pick BCG
