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

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well.

I am so anxious right now! Just got a job offer 2 weeks ago and still waiting on the written offer letter.

It’s been 2 days. My question is can I message the recruiter for an update? Will that be too annoying?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
