This is something most BCGers have no experience with. You are talking about a very specific level and focus area. I personally know no one at BCG with this profile. Are you applying for an expert PL? Or just generally interested in PE portfolio?

I think it is an expert PL. Based on my interactions with expert PLs, they all demonstrated very strong industry experience. Basically they can gain trust from client very early on in the case due to the way they talk.

Hi All

Will be joining Barclays Pune next week. Just wanted to check if Barclays is providing some goodies on Day01 of joining?

I know I'm expecting something but since I have been seeing a lot many organization's providing some really good goodies on Day01 so wanted to check here.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

I’m an experienced candidate who recently got an interview at BCG. Assume I’m not successful and I were to go for a one-year MBA starting in the fall, will I get an interview even if I don’t do the GMAT? I heard MBBs like the GMAT for MBA candidates, but if I can get the interview without the MBA, will the gmat make a difference while I’m in the MBA?

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
