Last year (my senior year of college) I networked with a bunch of people from Boston Consulting Group. Looking back on it, I asked the dumbest questions and definitely didn’t make myself look good. Ultimately I got rejected without an interview. Is it possible that they would blacklist me for this?

I doubt someone went into the system and said “this guy. Dumb question. Never hire” bcg does keep old applications for years though interestingly

Let me guess, you're at Deloitte.

Close 😐

They probably deal with nervous people all the time. They don’t take time to add those people to a blacklist. If a blacklist exists it would be for more egregious stuff like sexual harassment, getting too drunk at an invite dinner, or accepting and reneging on an offer.

No. That doesn’t matter. Your application and your pre case interview pymetrics test are what matter.

At least you didn't insult the firm like one person did my senior year of college. I'm guessing she didn't get the job. This was PWC.
