Applying for EH recruiting for BCG and coming in after 2 years with another firm. How does BCG decide who gets hired as an Associate vs Senior Associate?

Idk but it’s only a year difference (can you get promoted to Consultant after 1 year vs 2) so I’d argue your case if you get an offer but not sweat it too much bc a year isn’t that long

When I talked to the recruiter she informed me that after you receive an offer they will go through your resume and experience in more depth and determine how many months of work was truly applicable and equitable to the work BCG does

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
