BCG folks. Have had a recruiter reach out to me and a phone interview with principal is next. I’d appreciate thoughts on overall experienced hire recruiting process. Haven’t interviewed in a decade

1) Clarify if case interviews are required and format (interviewee vs interviewer-led)
2) Clarify if upcoming 'conversation' is a case interview or not
3) Ask for ample time to prep unless you already are
4) Drop a burner here, I'll help give you a case or 3

You can do this!

What level are you interviewing for?

You the homie @A2







You’re a homie @A1. Thanks for helping people out

I’m a BCG principal but I’m not the guy interviewing you. Happy to have an informal chat if you like. Drop a burner and I can get in touch.

Thanks A1, BCG1. Good advice and appreciate the open line Burner is burnermcburnBCG@gmail.com

M1 - principal would clearly be the direct mapping (as far as I understand BCG leveling vs my firm), but the recruiter did probe about if I’d be open to project lead as well.

This sounds like it will be a deep dive into your experience with maybe a short case to test your problem structuring vs full blown casing as the poster above is implying

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
