Make sure you can get your math right but also bring it back to the context of the case. Synthesize as you go. Also, know why you want to work at BCG, why you’re leaving your current role, why your experience is relevant. I did about 40+ live cases and was able to make it to the final round for BCG LA

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors.

Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
