International worker authorization question: Does BCG accept pending i485 combo EAD card? Pending Green Card based on marriage. Valid for 2 years. My lawyer said i765 + i151 combo card doesn’t need sponsorship and I can work for anyone. Got an offer, now at background check stage. HR seems confused about what is pending i485 EAD and said she needs to check with legal/mobility team. Just want to know if BCG is okay with it. Thank you! Boston Consulting Group

Read Case in Point, know the culture of the office you're interviewing at, have a clear 3-year goal, be friendly, polished, enthusiastic, and succinct. Just throwing stuff out there which helped me two years ago.
Good luck!!
Thanks BCG 1
Fit portion:
Focus on having good answers for the “why” questions: why BCG, why make the switch now. Understand what makes your desired office “special”. Have a view of the role you’d want to play within the company (industries to explore, ways to get involved in the office, etc). There won’t be time for more than 1-2 STAR type questions per interview
Case:
Better to be right than fast when it comes to the math. Better to create a creative, organic framework that’s somewhat wrong than to use a canned framework straight out of hour bschool textbook. Focus on having a succinct 60 second conclusion that quickly summarizes context, reco, risks, next steps.
Overall:
Don’t treat the interview like an inquisition. Be friendly and interactive with the interviewer. And also act normal. Underrated part of the interview is to weed out the freaks and awkward people who you wouldn’t want to stick in front of a client or be stuck in an airport layover with.
Personally, I find the case in point, victor cheng, etc materials to be a waste of time- there is no substitute for live practice (preferably with bcgers)- leverage your network. Good luck!
This is great - many thanks BCG 2
