Had a question in mind about referral in BCG.

I applied for Associate position MENA region today for their October Deadline. Is referral a break or make deal to get the interview call?

I plan on applying to Mck and Bain as well in coming weeks. How important is referral for those applications?

Referral helps get your resume a look-in faster than a normal resume upload on the careers website. Having said that, I know people who didn’t get an interview despite a referral. It surely helps though.

Hello Everyone,

I have 4.3 YOE currently and I was offered Engr II - Full Stack position in VDSI. But after doing some research it seems Engr II is usually for YOE between 2 and 4. Is this correct? Will there be a problem for me if I take up this position with my YOE?
Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?
