I should have made one post 😭 I don’t want to come off as problem but would also love a referral to BCG full-time consulting. I have been working my ass off and obtained my Azure fundamentals certification in August. I won’t disappoint 😁

Yeah not sure what BCG cares about Azure fundamentals. Do you know how to size a market or build a pricing strategy?

Don't mind all these bitter consultants, the job does that to you, best of luck OP

Hi Op, you seem like a hustler. I’d recommend finding BCGers on LinkedIn and cold emailing them with a tailored email to their backgrounds - BCG emails are *LastName.FirstName@bcg.com*

I don’t know anything about you so I won’t comment on your chances. If it doesn’t work out this time, try going for a top MBA at a school where BCG recruits and try again. Your chances will improve drastically. Good luck!

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?
