Think up a market that exists. Size it. Google to verify. Let’s try one live. US residential drywall market. 300M ppl in US, avg household of 2, so 150M homes. Assume half rent and half buy. 75M apartments / 25 yrs between remodel * $50k to build one = 150B. 75M single fam / 50 yr remodel * $100k = 150B . So 300B residential const. Thumb in the air, drywall seems like 10% of the build. $30B. Def sounds high, way high. You get the idea though

Basically, what BCG is showing is to carefully flow and support your assumptions. Going a tick more slowly BCG likely would’ve caught the labor piece live. An interview going well and a good interviewer would likely see that cost number and challenge you, giving the chance to course correct.

Just practice. Further reflection, I’m way b/c I equated cost of construction to material. Should have at least 50% haircut to reflect labor costs

2.9 per household

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
