I have practiced a lot of cases and am fairly confident. A BCG recruiter reached out to me to ask me when we can schedule an interview. I haven’t spent time in practicing for the fit/behavioral interview. How much time do you think I should ask for? I can essentially put in ~2 hours of work on a weekday and ~5-6 on the weekend

You don’t need to spend that much time on the fit portion of an interview. Just answer the question that was asked and don’t be a weirdo.

It’s either you fit, or you don’t.

This is contrary to what P1 said but I think fit is extremely important esp during R2. You need to have 4-5 good stories, you also need to research and prepare answers to general for type questions (what kind of a team member are you etc). But that shouldn’t take you more than 2 weeks.

Also don’t give yourself too much time so that you don’t start overthinking things

Thanks for that P1. I probably misunderstood your comment

I'd ask for more than 1 month between now and your first round, assuming that you need to refresh your casing skills

There’s no huge rush btw, BCG hiring surge will likely last for a few months

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
