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. :)

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
