I have a pre interview practice case with someone at BCG before my interview next week. Are they grading or judging me? Is this all part of the evaluation or truly a free practice round?

Yeah. It’s not meant to be very evaluative. However if you perform extremely poorly in an area they will pass it along and the real interviewers will watch for improvement in the live case.

I took 40 min in my mock case and was given feedback I spent too much time explaining things. I tightened it up and did my live case in 20 min.

Free practice round. Ask any questions you need to get off your chest too!

He’s part of the same ring fence I’m being recruited into (informally). I’m worried that if I mess up my quant it’ll get back to the ring fence team and I’ll be pushed hard in my final round

Thank you!

Always assume some general personality version of feedback will go back to the system (kinda like coffee chats). You don’t have stress about the case, but you should be a bit more polished than a casual discussion.

I got through all the rounds of interviews (including 2 technical panels) at CrowdStrike before being assured that I was nearing the end of the process and was expected to receive an offer soon… almost two weeks ago now? Anyone else experienced this kind of delay from CS or similarly sized organizations? Did I get ghosted? Anything more I should be doing?

Hi ladies! I feel I am ready to find a more managerial role: manager, supervisor, director, etc. I usually take positions I am over qualified for, which leaves me underpaid and not very challenged. However, I think not having previous manager experience holds me back as well. How does someone get manager roles without having manager experience? Someone has to yes in order to gain it, right?! Is there a way to phrase answers in an interview to get the positions?

If so what was the length of delay and what was your excuse to the recruiter?

I feel like during the interviewing process you may have multiple interviewers and processes that go along with that, which means you may need time to compare offers. I want to be honest with the recruiter and say I am going to have to wait and compare offers when they are all on the table, which would be ~1 month.
