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

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”.

Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?
