Had to expedite my Strategy& process (due to end day after) due to a competing offer. Would love to get tips from folks here on S& interviews, specifically for tech strategy at associate/experienced associate level. Are they similar to BCG interviews in terms of cases/difficulty? Will the cases be specific to tech strategy? Any tips on behavioral /fit? Thanks a lot!

Generally when I interview folks I'll probe for fundamental strategy skills, not necessarily tech related. Take the time and get structured, that is much more valuable than getting the right answer without a good structure.

Cases are developed by the interviewer, so — just like any other strategy consulting firm — they will likely be tailored to the interviewer’s experience.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
