I have an interview next week for a tech industry role and my interviewer was a project leader at BCG. Nervous as I'm an analyst at Deloitte (not S&O) with little experience. Any tips?

Not a troll post. Sure, will try to prepare a solid POV

Prepare as much as you can, be personable and somewhat honest. If you're genuine, that helps too if your interviewer is on the same page. Good luck buddy!

Then you get the right attitude. Go for it!

Just because their pedigree is in a "higher tier" firm doesn't necessitate their experience to be better. Maybe they only do strategy and want someone with implementation experience to round out the engagement. Or other way around. Maybe your firm has a better niche practice / service line the target firm is getting into.

I messed up my interview with Millennium LLP for an entry level role and I feel nothing but dread right now. I believe it was my only opportunity at obtaining a high salary / profile job compared to my other options that only pay half as much. How can I accept the fact that I might not be able to start out as successful as I wanted to be? I believe it’s extremely difficult to jump between layers (E.G. Big 4 to MBB) later on in my career.
