At what point in the BCG interview process, when you’re referred, is the role you’re applying for decided? Before the interviews by your referrer, during the initial call, or at the end?

Should be decided on pretty early, before the in-person interviews. There is a formula based on previous work so it’s mostly cut and dry. Where are you in the process now?

What’s your profile? Easier to weigh in on that than to generalize.

I’ve seen it come down to decision rounds. That’s for the best. Coming in to a stretch role makes for tough sledding. Just come in lateral or with a fresh start. You’ll still make a boatload and be expected to advance uncomfortably quickly

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

Someone please let me know what shift allowances amount do they give, and
Also, suggest out of 5% bonus, how much do they give to an average employee.
