Bain & Company just wrapped up my final round experience hire interview for bcg’s associate position. had a partner in r1 but project leader in r2, seems to be different from most people’s experience where the interviewers get more senior as it progresses

any idea why? or am i thinking too much of it?

Thinking too much into it. Partner in r1 was probably an emergency replacement for someone more junior who had a client commitment or something.

Various levels interviewers are qualified to take r2 interviews; depends on multiple factors.

Or vice versa too! Partner may have been busy and so asked PL if they could swap! (My partner interview was moved like twice because the partner was busy)

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
