McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

Pretty much 0 unless the partner was the one who interviewed you
About 3lbs
It depends, I have seen some partner family getting hired in other practices and other firms even if they’re useless, I have seen other rise to CEO.
Ok but that’s not at BCG 👏🏻
In my experience, none. The recruiting team will generally tell the partner that they’re not making an offer but that’s the only difference.
Having been very involved in recruiting I can confidently say 0.
I’ve seen partner referral candidates be right on the edge and not get the offer. I’ve seen the same happen with major client’s kids and that’s an even bigger one to me. Honestly it somewhat surprised me they weren’t pushed over given the millions that potentially flowed through that relationship
It’s amazing how everyone is fixated on McKinsey. OP’s question is about BCG. Sure enough, people have to bring McKinsey into the picture to make the thread newsworthy. And McKinsey has the most stringent hiring guard rails of any firm simply because most CEOs want their kids to go there if they get a chance. So why should it be a surprise if someone attempts a scandal it would be for McKinsey. And this likely happened at a country where corruption may be rampant and a way of life versus the USA where it’s a violation.
Formal partner referral gets campus hires a guaranteed first round interview but nothing guaranteed after. Any rejections of said PMD referral requires additional justification in a formal system. When I was involved more w/ recruiting we still rejected a lot of PMD referrals but it’s a BS protocol and many of them wrongfully took up interview slots when they were unprepared/had no chance.
Sick burn BCG3 🔥
I would think 0?
None
