Bain & Company Hi guys. Quick question - Going through my First Round of interviews at one of the MBBs. Finished one interview this week and have the remaining 2 interviews next week (all as part of first round). For the behavioral questions in the upcoming interviews, am I okay to repeat stories that I already shared in my first interview? Or would I need to come up with new stories? Thanks! Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

How would you approach an interview process where the company sounds exciting but you feel confident the role would not be a growth opportunity for your skill set? Is there a good way to respectfully approach that topic with the interview team and find a role that might be more exciting for you? Or is it better to walk away?

Is it a norm to send a thank you note through your recruiter? I had an iffy interview, and wondering if I bother sending a thank you note. It was very clear that they were trying to do a stress interview so I feel weird saying the usual nice things.

I am interviewing for a FP&A Manager position in Proserv UK. Could you please disclose the initial salary that I could ask for?

Thank you in advance!

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal?

Hi Fishes,

Need your suggestion.
Wanted to decline an offer (which I had accepted earlier) stating location contraint, but now they have given location of my choice.Still I don't want to join.

How should I deal with company in this scenario.

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

Can Mck fish please advise on the role of a sponsor? How is different from role of mentor? TIA

Any BCG folks have any insight to the Pymetrics test? Is it used to determine whether I get an interview and is it something I can prepare for before taking?

Just took this BCG Quant Reasoning test and I think I messed it up. Some of the units are so confusing. Is nearest 000s of pounds 23000 or 23? They don’t partial mark it and the whole test was filled with this sort of thing. Oh well
