Currently at a top life sci boutique (cough the one that gets all the heat here) and looking to transition to an MBB firm. I heard BCG is a hiring spree, should I could apply cold now online? I don’t have any connections there

Disagree. I would try to make a connection. If you’re rejected from a cold resume you have to wait at least 6 months to reapply. And while individual offices do get forwarded resumes of folks without referrals, the interview success rate is much higher with one.

Anyone from your alumni network you can reach out to? Probably the best place to start.

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently a civil design engineer, and trying to switch to real estate as a Program Manager. I have an interview in a week where they tell me I will have to work on ( for about 3-4 hours ) on an operational case study.

The job is located in Paris and the job is in French .

Does anyone here have any case studies in Real estate that they can share ? and if they're from France, that would be even better.

Thank you in advance !

Do these 2 things I used to do to get over it:

1. Know the product inside out - it will take time for you to gain confidence in your sales abilities but if you know the product will you’ll be more confident in that domain.

2. Do more demos - the more calls and presentations you do the more comfortable you’ll get. My advice is to try to get on a lot of presentations, even with leads that aren’t so good.
