Had a final round with Boston Consulting Group yesterday. Will they call relatively quickly whether or not it is an offer or rejection?

Recruiter said that latest we would hear back is the end of next week, but I’ve heard most offer calls go out on the same day.

Got an offer the Tuesday after my Friday interview. A few days is nothing to worry about. Good luck!

What’s the engagement manager salary at BCG? When I look it up and compare to PwC it is significantly lower (like 130 base). I’m doing 165k base as pwc manager and pretty much 180-210 per year all in…what are bcg engagement managers making? It has to be more. Or is it not?

Wow that’s legit! Thanks for sharing. Making much more sense

Most of the time the offer call is same day but not always (like if there are only a few spots still to be filled and more interviews a week or two later they may wait to make the call)

In my experience they’re very quick. Would be very surprised if it gets as late as end of next week (regardless of whether or not you got the role)

Thanks for the replies everyone! Wondering if offers will go out earlier than rejection calls, or if they tend to go out concurrently. Have a few other interviews lined up that I would cancel if an offer came from BCG

Offers usually come before rejections as they go down the line of preference. Unless you were an outright “no, never them” candidate lol

How long was the timeline from the first interview to the last? Did you have an online case? Willing to DM? Haha sorry for all the questions I have a consultant interview in a week

Feel free to dm! I did apply for the consulting intern role but I’d be happy to tell you about the process I went through

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?
