Tell them you are weighing an offer from Deloitte

Refer to the company only as Bain Consulting Group in a show of dominance. Halt the call midway through and ask, “Do you have any questions for me?”

Jokes aside, have fun with it. Great firm with engaging folks. You should have a fun conversation.

I interviewed as well. Fairly standard. Just make sure you focus on STAR and large engagements

like

Interview or screen? Likely the latter.

Be able to do a quick resume run through, highlighting why each role you’ve had has contributed to your development in a way that is relevant for a potential role of BCG.

Be able to convey how you would fit in to, and add value, to BCG. Unless this is for a TA role, our model is still a generalist one. That said, it is good to have a believable anchor in terms of function, industry, capability, etc

Good luck

@BCG2 Yeah, I meant screen. Interview was probably the wrong term.

Thanks for the info.

“I see the problem; what’s the solution”
“I don’t get paid enough to have a solution”

Know exactly why you want to make the switch. The comp and prestige are bad answers

You get the offer?

Just shout BOG repeatedly

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
