I finished R1 of my interview with BCG yesterday. The one with partner went great and the other with principal was okay- the interviewer had to help me out and ask probing questions during the case. I picked up those hints, but a little nervous about prospects of getting into R2. The call with principal went for an hour instead the set 45 mins. Am I done or do I have a chance to proceed into R2? Recruiter said that i have to wait i till next week for feedback. The wait is killing me.

I did a couple of hundred BCG interviews.

No way to know from your side of the desk.

Best thing to do is learn how to make the wait more bearable for you.

Good luck.

I thought I messed up in two rounds at BCG (in my view, I did - Interviewer had to help me out to steer me forward) but I made it in the end. So I guess you never know!

Thanks!

Very much anecdotal but I didn’t get an offer because my brainstorming wasn’t creative enough.

Everything else on my case was strong but was also interviewing for a super competitive office
