Can anyone at BCG fill me in on what a first round, thirty minute phone interview might entail? Seems too short for a case, so I’m thinking just a screen with fit questions? Thank you!

As far as I know we don’t do any first round interviews by phone. Certainly not in the US.

Thanks. Very strange. Everything in the email seems professional/appropriate (doesn’t seem like a scam) including the signature in the email block. Maybe it’s just a screen and not a true interview? I’ll update if/when I hear back.

If it’s HR, it’s prob resume questions at most. But for what it’s worth, Mck gave me a case over our 30 min phone call. First interview

It’s more than likely the HR screening call. They did do a 30 min phone interview with me. Went over what the role implies and double checking your experience

I did a one hour screening call to discuss their and my experience, situation at BCG, opportunity etc... I did it with a Consultant in the role I was applying for. Godspeed

Makes sense. I applied for two roles with them; I believe this is the one that is actually internal. Still interests me a lot though. Thank you for your replies!

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
