Have BCG final round interviews this Friday. 2 45 Minute sessions back to back (all the slots were set up this way). Do you usually get a minute or two in between the calls? I imagine I’m going to need a moment to recenter myself after the pressure of a case interview, maybe run to the bathroom.

Also any last minute advice is greatly appreciated :)

You’ll have enough time to drink a glass of water that’s already on your desk but not enough time to run to the bathroom. It’s meant to simulate being in an office where 2 partners would walk in back to back.

Even if it's meant to simulate being in an office with 2 back to back partner sessions, how can a bathroom break not be allowed 😶😶

Should be able to take 5. Final round might be looser format, with more of a collegial back-and-forth with the interviewer

now if the nearly closing one rolls out the offer,
1. how do I gain time till i finish the interview rounds of oth companies?
2. Will the company expect to accept/decline the offer in 1-2 days?
3. How do you all usually stretch 1 offer acceptance till you secure more offers?
TIA

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently a civil design engineer, and trying to switch to real estate as a Program Manager. I have an interview in a week where they tell me I will have to work on ( for about 3-4 hours ) on an operational case study.

The job is located in Paris and the job is in French .

Does anyone here have any case studies in Real estate that they can share ? and if they're from France, that would be even better.

Thank you in advance !

How does one get referrals - particularly if you aren't from a target uni? Feels a bit forceful asking people you network with, if they'd be comfortable doing this at the end of your conversation.
Also are there any restrictions in place for each firm (e.g the referrer must have worked with the candidate previously, etc)?
