PMs, do you think consulting interviews are very easy?

What kind of consulting do you mean? And by PMs, do you mean Product Managers? (or project / program managers)

If we’re talking about strategy consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc), then I found their interviews to be much more difficult than the ones for Product Management: the standards for structure, mental math, and business sense are much higher IMO.

I disagree

Ownership of customer problem and demonstrating ability to execute and deliver is key in consulting interviews, of course there is a degree of variation based on the level and type of role you are targeting

Has anyone lost an offer of employment because they didn't reply with a decision in time?

If so what was the length of delay and what was your excuse to the recruiter?

I feel like during the interviewing process you may have multiple interviewers and processes that go along with that, which means you may need time to compare offers. I want to be honest with the recruiter and say I am going to have to wait and compare offers when they are all on the table, which would be ~1 month.

Has anyone else ever dealt with getting downgraded for a position and then hung out to dry?
