Just got a BCG associate offer. Will be going to the office for a “Welcome Weekend” next week. Any advice? I want to accept the offer before I go because then I can be purposeful with my conversations. Thoughts? I’d love to network with project leaders so they’re aware of me in a year (after grad) and I can pop back up and reconnect and maybe get some influence on the first project I’m placed on. Any general advice is also welcome for the next year (credit cards, skills, etc..) to get ready.

Just have fun, your first project is mostly random, I’d focus more on getting to know your start class

Welcome :).

When you get started you actually start with a new hire pair that you follow for the first 3 months. So, you won’t be able to have an effect on your first staffing.

I would actually recommend inverting to really getting to know other As and Cs. They will build an office culture with you and be the people you remember the most.

PLs you will get to know over time, but staffing over the start will be mostly handled by you and your talent manager

Guys. I need your suggestion. Shall i stay here in Kolkata or return back to my home town for a month or two provided Magnet doesn't have any space. My home town is nearby. It's not commutable by road but i can come here in short notice if any. I'm currently not assigned to any project so no one checks if I go to office. I have a home here, I have updated address of this place in Kolkata. But I want to stay in my home for some more days 🥺 Salt Lake will open then I would have no option to leave

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
