I think how I crafted my narrative in my resume as well cover letter and undergrad school (it’s a target school) helped. I submitted my application online and first received interest from BCG at my 3 year mark, but I had to turn down the interview because of personal reasons. I reached out, again—this time, at my 4.25 year mark.

Haha, I can understand as I’ve been managing projects for a while as well (and make some killer slides!). I tell myself one step backwards is one step forwards. If anything, I’ll have plenty to learn from a strategy standpoint. :)

like

Yes. I have the date and time as well

As Bain1 mentioned, @BCG1 - Would you know of any BCG folks who would be open to coaching me and giving feedback?

When’s your interview?

Second round on Monday and then a case interview likely the week following

Would you be open to my reaching out to you?

Texted!

Sorry a bit off topic, but how do you guys initiate the lateral process? How much work experience do you guys have?

OP, are you interviewing for PL or consultant?!

Consultant. :)

All the best OP. am on same boat. But struggling to convince myself to take that bait after being competitive against likes of MBO, and after managing projects for few yrs now.

Thank you. :) If ever interested practicing case studies with me, please let me know!

Don’t take fit interviews lightly, most experienced candidates especially with consulting background struggle more with fit interviews

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

This may be a dumb question, but is there any business role/function where you’re not sitting in front of a computer all day? Before entering the corporate world I was in the restaurant industry for many years and was on a computer maybe 10% of the time.
