Has anyone done the boardroom exercise as part of a BCG interview?
Grateful for any preparation advice🙏
(I get it if it is meant to be hard to prep for. NP, just asking)

Use your 20 dollar ChatGPT advanced voice to similulate the partners grilling you using voice and video to judge your nonverbals.

This is an extremely easy exercise for AI to replicate for you if you prompted it correctly. Make sure you give it extremely tough persona. Also give it the goal to eliminate 95% of the candidates in this round.

• Use a top-down structure (e.g., recommendation first, then support).
• Think in headlines for slides—executive summaries, not raw analysis.
• Anticipate likely pushback (“What if competitors retaliate?” “How confident are you in that forecast?”).
• Stay composed: the pressure is intentional; they are testing behavior under stress.

AI can provide samples and more guidance.

Hi All... URGENTLY NEED some suggestions.

I've got a job offer in australia for 120$ Aud. Pay is good but they reached out to me via LinkedIn now all interviews done. If i accept the offer they will start my visa process. But I couldn't find the company in Google or Glassdoor reviews. It's a new startup kind of consultancy with 10-15 PPL. I can only see few linkedin posts for that company.

Is it advisable to proceed? They're not asking any money from me they are sponsoring for visa. Is it safe

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
