BCG fish, got an invite to a round 1 interview. They gave me the option to do an “accelerated process” by interviewing this Friday. However it has been a few years since I’ve cased so I’m a little rusty. Is there a disadvantage to doing an interview later this month as opposed to this Friday?
Thank you!

Definitely pick the later date - you don’t want to rush it and go in unprepared. Absolutely no disadvantage to interviewing later this month!

Gotcha, that makes me feel better since the last time I cased was during UG recruiting in 2018 haha. I’ll probably ask to do the interview later this month

Just choose a later date until you are ready. You don't want the waste the opportunity going into it unprepared. A friend of mine postponed interview for a month to get fully prepared, and got the offer.

I had the same situation with BCG recently. Definitely worth pushing for a later date to better prepare. However, if you push, make sure you actually use the time to prepare instead of procrastinating.

How’d the interview go?

FYI BCG is aggressively hiring. The market is at your advantage here. If you interview decently, you’ll get an offer. Don’t bomb it by rushing it!

Fingers crossed it works out! Most BCG folks I’ve interacted with seem really cool and would definitely make the hop if I was given the opportunity

How long after your application submission did you hear back about the interview? What is the alternative to the “accelerated process”?

That’s a fair question - I don’t know the answer to that but let’s see if anyone else on here can speak to that

Which office?

Chicago

My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
