Spend some time and write down what you’ve accomplished in life that you are most proud of. Think of things that were more difficult than this interview will ever be. Remind yourself that you can do it - go get em tiger!

Man D chill out. I made a joke and Op sharing feels. I feel nervous every time I interview someone for BCG. I worry they find out I’m the fraud

OP, just give it your best. It's all you can do. You must bring a lot to the table to have made it to this point, and if it's meant to be, it will happen for you.

Remember confident body posture, and remember to breathe! You've got this. Good luck to you.

If you’re not motivated enough yet, if you don’t get that job you’ll have to try to get into Deloitte.

OP - confidence counts for a lot. Shake off your nerves in the waiting area, stay present while there and show that you’re enjoying it (even if that takes a little acting!). And keep perspective - I’m sure it would be awesome if you get it, but you’ll be totally fine if not.

I interviewed and I didn’t make it as an experienced hire! Can tell you that I got along very well with my interviewers but I wasn’t concise and punchy enough in my fit, and I seemed to unsure of myself in the case. Interviewer told me later that I did very well in terms of thinking and structuring the case but I was too unsure of myself and kept second guessing where I was going with the case, and as an experienced hire you really just have to nail it. So I’m assuming you’re an experienced hire, go in with confidence and lead them through your thoughts like a boss

Don’t freak out, if you freak out there will be a line of equally smart and driven people ready to fill the spot you lost.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
