I met BCG partner he gave me his email and told me to come in for an interview. I've got 6 months left to finish my master's part time. Would I have time to study if I were a successful candidate?

Hahaha no, you wouldn’t have time to study. You’d have to start post-graduation

Get the offer, THEN negotiate the start date so you can finish

I think you could negotiate finishing your program. I doubt they want you to take a loss on the education.

No way. You’d end up failing at both. It’s super hard for those of us without a degree going on

Do both and get locked in on a start date that starts at the middle to end of their fiscal year so you have a warming up ramp

Ask them if it’s ok to finish your masters before joining. Tell them it’ll provide way more value etc.
