Bain & Company My MBB🐠, when applying as a lateral, say I am applying to the NY offices, do my referrals have to be from people based out of the NY office for them to have an impact, or they would also work if they are from ppl in other offices?

Context: currently at a T2 in NYC, but most of my college friends who work at MBB are in the Midwest
McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group

For BCG, no they don’t have to be from the office but it might make the difference between a strong referral and a very strong one.

I am still applying to new jobs but I was told it is impossible to move up the grade level now. Everyone is telling me to stick with the government. What are your thoughts?

Any best practices on what has worked to streamline recruiting processes for devs?

2nd stage of our interview process is a technical challenge and a conceptual discussion (system design)

Do any of you have experience with structuring a technical challenge to where it's the same for each candidate?
