I have a friend in a non-consulting role at BCG that is willing to give a referral. How important is the why this person is a fit for BCG statement? Should I ask them to add a cover letter to my referral? Thanks!

The why statement is pretty important. Cover letter not important... recruiting will ask you for it later.

How long should that statement be?

Bump! How long should the statement be?

Not long. Should be supportive and specific, but doesn’t need to be lengthy.

Goal was traditional PE, but no luck there so far with interviews. Also not sure if offer $ is in typical ballpark of what you can expect in MM PE in SF?
