I had a bcg recruiter reach out and decided to go through the recruiting process at PL level. Have first of 2 rounds coming up in a few weeks. Was told it’s via zoom, is it going to be traditional format just remote or some computer generated thing I keep reading about?

Your recruiter should tell you the format for both rounds. If they haven't already, it's completely ok to ask them. I know candidates interviewing for the consultant level have a chatbot and behavioral for R1 and case+fit interviews with partners for R2. May be different for PL, and it's better to get accurate/current info from the recruiters anyway.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
