Guys what should I be doing to make sure I land well at BCG? I already have connected with partners during the interview process- should I reach out to them to have 1:1 chats? How can I optimize most the integration/ramp up time? In my old firm (T2) I just delivered like a machine on BD and thought leadership for some partners to get projects and then aced those projects. Is it the same process you would suggest? Before you comment on the BCG way and all, I’m well versed in it

Some tips:
- attend all social events. Do not skip. Make friends
- sign up to be a leader on some of the communities from your office, affiliations and whatnot. Not that this helps you directly but will help you find new people
- similar to the QB1, QB2 concept, be PL1 or 2 in successful pyramids asap. I know, easier said than done
- BD expectation much lower at bcg compared to T2 so would still help proposals but only if you are on the beach
- when you network with partners/mdps, ask who else you should be meeting with.
