Hi,
If I get referred at IBM, get a mail for details from the HR but do not reply as I currently don't want to switch because of some reasons, can I get referred again after say 3 months?
Asking cuz the profile blocks for an year after applying/getting referred at Accenture.
Please help with the answer.
IBM

No calculator, yes you are expected to be able to do the math on paper
Go get ‘em OP ♥️
Make your paper like an excel sheet and talk through the “formula” you’re using for extra brownie points
Make sure you can be calm and just have a conversation rather than like an interview
Okay cool but we are allowed to write the math out on paper as opposed to doing it all mentally?
Yes AC
Yes OP - in fact it is encouraged because the interviewer can clearly see your thought process. And it helps you also because if you make a small mistake like miss a zero or something, it is easily identifiable and the interviewer will observe this too and give you brownie points for it.
@op Wishing you luck !! Which office?
Thank you!! It’s for an associate role in dc
Awesome thank you!
@op whens the interview?
Tomorrow
@op Awesome!! How has prep been going? How many live preps have you run through?
The prep has been alright. I haven’t done as many live cases as I would have hoped (probably about 4) but I did one with a BCG consultant that HR organized and he said I did well. I know all the steps of how to do a case well it just depends if I can put all the parts together during the interviews tomorrow. Do you have any tips for how to spend my last night?
@op Would probably focus on some fit question prep, looking through your resume, browsing the bcg website, and catching up on whats going on in the business world. Are they flying you in?
That’s what I was planning on doing actually. And no I’m local in DC
@op Whats your desired location? Usually final rounds are the location of choice.
DC is my desired location! This is only the first round though - it is in the office in Bethesda
@SC1 Im guessing you work for BCG? And where are you based out of?
@op I would be lying if I said I am- I am just another candidate hoping to make it. Best of luck, would love to hear how it went!
