Had my 2nd round with BCG this morning for experienced hire and don’t feel like the cases were perfect, have to wait until M/Tu to hear. Likelihood of getting the offer without absolutely crushing the cases? Felt like I did a great job walking interviewers through my logic but I feel like it could have been better.

The BCG partner who interviewed me looked deliberately pissed off, interrupted me and questioned all my assumptions. Still crushed it and got the offer next Monday. Then called them up to say I already accepted with McKinsey.

I did not feel great and I did not get the offer. You will or you won't. It'll be okay regardless. Nothing else you can do now my friend. Remember, its just a job.

I wish you the best.
