Interviewed for a corp strat role and after 7 rounds, it was down to me and a BCG guy. I didn't make it. I obviously can't come to the conclusion that it's because of "prestige", he could have had better, more relatable experiences, etc.

From an MBB perspective, the hard part about exit opps competing with big 4 is that our salary expectations are quite a bit higher, especially at the manager+ level. That's changing now as others raise their salaries to compete with us, but it can be an issue.

That's interesting BCG1, what salaries do you usually expect for F500 exit opps across the different levels at BCG?

10 open Leadership Supervisor positions.
Almost 30 applicants.

I said that "People come to me about process issues, and I worked with others to better that process for them and the team."
Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?
