Applied to BCG NYC office in December and made it to the final round, but wasn’t given an offer. Want to reapply to NYC, but was told by a friend in recruiting that they wouldn’t give me a first round being that I was rejected only 7 months ago. Anyone know whether it not this is true?

If your friend works at BCG, this is true and no need to get second opinions. If they don’t work at BCG, different story.

Unless you are going to get a partner referral you gotta wait a year

You may have to wait a full year, pretty significant difference in a partner and MDP in terms of recruiting sway. But awesome that you have a connection that’s fighting to get you in, way better than 99% of the people trying to get in as an experience hire

why would you not be able to apply to the same office? in the same boat and recruiter said to reach out in 6 months to restart the process

Different offices sometimes have slightly different recruiting practices.

If your friend is a BCG NYC recruiter or BCG NYC C/PL/P leading a rotation on recruiting, then treat their position as true.

If not, I’d look up the NYC office’s experienced hire recruiter on the BCG website, share that you’re very interested in reapplying and a BRIEF (no more than one sentence) update on what you’ve done since you last interviewed and how it sets you up for success. Then ask what their current hiring needs are and if you should wait til the one year mark to reapply or if there’s current need now.
