I’m prepping for a BCG Platinion live case interview and would love to get advice from anyone who’s done it or is familiar with the format. It’ll be a tech strategy case, and I had a few specific questions:
1. Is the case typically interviewer-led or interviewee-led?
2. Are there any frameworks or problem-solving approaches that work well for these tech-heavy cases (vs. generalist ones)?
3. If you had limited time to prep, what would you focus on to maximize success?

Hello,

What is the notice period in EXL?

My wife and I are considering relocating to a new city. I’ve been working with a recruiter who (I thought) gave me a good lay of the land. Which firms to meet with re lateral opportunities, which to avoid, etc. I’ve since spoken with a friend who has connections at other firms that could be a better fit. Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?
