BCG 🐠 I am interviewing in your Boston office later this week. Should I wear a tie? My gut reaction says yes, but I watched bunch of videos of your partners, etc and I rarely see them wear ties.

Yes you should wear a tie, but don’t be surprised if your interviewer doesn’t .

Wear a tie and a suit. You want to look clean, but not draw attention to your attire: so nothing loud.

And the office culture is such that everyone wears shirt + blazer with no tie (and jeans and such on Fridays) so yes, your interviewer may be in more relaxed attire than you are. But it's important for us to know that you can suit up for a C-suite meeting, so almost everyone will expect interviewees to wear a suit and look polished.

Good luck!

^ you're thinking of Bain.

I wore a tie for first round (on campus), but skipped out for final rounds. Don't think it matters either way. Sounds like you'll have less anxiety about just wearing one though.

Wear a tie it’s pretty normal for interviewees. Once you get here though it’s very rare outside of FS and the odd board meeting to wear one

OP what firm are you going into BCG from?
Wondering what the Manager and Senior Manager equivalent at BCG is

Project Leader and Principal. If you don’t have significant time in role though, it’s common to take a step back when you lateral. This is to your benefit though, as you only really have 18-24 months to be promotion ready and it gives you more runway

Thanks. Is it normal for a Deloitte Manager up for promotion to Senior Manager come in at the Senior Associate level?

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.

What are the chances of getting a lower offer because you're POC applying at a fairly large law firm? Not big law or anything but still. Friend and I both got offers, came out of the same school and have very similar internship experience. He's white and I'm not, his offer is significantly higher. How low is low enough to walk away?

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.
