Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

My friend, you will do well. I am sorry to hear about your dad. Get sleep tonight and go kill it tomorrow. You are almost there

You don't need to drop. Just email them to explain your situation and tell them you would like to push out the date. They are very accommodating.
I'm in the BCG interview process myself and pushed out one of my interviews by 2 weeks due to a last minute client conflict.
Good luck!

I’m sorry about your dad. Just ask them to reschedule, it’s not a big deal.

Also, send an email and call the recruiter first thing in the am, and it should be fine.

Good luck with your dad (and the interviews). You can clearly do the job if you're at S& and have gotten to the final round already.

Reschedule it and take care of your personal situation yet. I am an ex S& here too. Let me know if I can help with anything

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
