Have an interview with BCG San Francisco office....can anyone help answer what's unique about SF office ? I want to prepare a good answer for "Why SF office" other than that I live here !

“I live here” is a valid answer. Why this office is a question usually asked for grads, and most of the time “my parents and friends are here, I’m from here” is the best answer.

What level?

Consultant

Does the SF office get mostly tech projects due to proximity to silicon valley ?

Yes
