I’m happy to chat. I got into BCG having never even heard of a case interview before and I had one month to prep. Been there 3 years now and I do regular case coaching of other prospective hires.

Sounds dumb but get some 5th grade maths exercises online and practice your long multiplication, division, percentages, large numbers. I’m sure you were great at math in high school but if you’re anything like me you’ll find that you’ve gotten rusty. If you’re not stressed about the numbers you can focus on the bigger questions

Yup. I used Victor Cheng’s speed math trainer (it was free with sign up), Khan Academy and practised written long multiplication and division on paper. Helped significantly.

Refer to the website they give you. As long as you have solid business acumen and a firm understanding of at least under grad business school you’ll be fine. They prefer more bespoke solutions so don’t over study. Know the concepts and what they are looking for

Or anyone who has interviewed and has some advice!

Second this. I did my BCG Interview and had to write my math down on paper to do, I was definitely not prepared as well as I could’ve been and that’s why I didn’t move on. All in all a truly spectacular recruiting process, very high touch

Might be off topic, but guys please, take care of your health. I've been rejected by all companies in the last 2 months.
I had my Walmart interview today and it went really well. And guess what? I got a rejection email.

I had to go to the doctor due to the anxiety and stress I was carrying since the last 2 months. It has affected my health.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
