@OP My best tip is to remember that the case IS the fit interview. Let your personality shine through in the way you tackle the case. It’s more performance art than problem solving

C3- would you mind explaining what you mean by punchy enough for the fit? Also how concise do you have to be for the questions... I'm just super used to the McK way of interviewing since I just did some interviews with them, so I'm trying to transition to the BCG version

SC 2: they set up a call with one of the principals I interviewed with a week later. He was really helpful.

C2: by punchy I mean my answers were a bit too long winded (although I did practice) I needed to get to what exactly I did and the impact I had more immediately, then explain the circumstances surrounding it

Also update from the experienced hire who didn’t make the cut - was told recently by my friend who referred me that they liked me a lot but were only looking to fill 1 position and it had a specific language requirement. So sometimes it’s just down to luck! Figured I’d share since people are reopening this thread

yeah absolutely there are lots of other “requirements” that sometimes end up making the decision and we know nothing about them
