Usually I make the whole group fight to the death and give the role to the last man standing, but sometimes I just pick based on who wore the best shoes 🤷‍♂️

Honestly though it's not fair if we tell you and not others. All prep info should be entirely public if we want an ideal meritocracy.

My case requires you to examine an unusual client situation and make a recommendation on what we would recommend our client do and then defend it. Depending on your seniority, my specific questions vary as do my expectations for the quality of your answers.

In other words, I intentionally defy categorization because our clients’ problems often do as well.

D1, sure, but there's a line where students who are more connected are advantaged against those who aren't. We need a process that doesn't rely on connections so that we get a hire pool that is maximally successful and diverse. It's not fair if B school buddies get a leg up over other candidates, for instance.

You guys are so cool. Thanks for the serious answers!

I'm not sure I follow. What do you mean? Ideally we want to hire the best people. If some applicants have an unfair edge, we might accidentally hire them instead of more deserving and more successful candidates.

BCG4, candidates who take the initiative to find out more are the ones likely to succeed. You are not necessarily looking for the “best people” You are looking for the ones with the most initiative. Usually initiative is what defines the typical consultants It’s not like you are being asked to share questions for tomorrow’s test.

This depends on what you think your interviews are screening for...

This thread sounds like Joker’s “ Now our operation is small, but there’s a lot of potential for aggressive expansion” special.

Sounds like these 3 are the most asked then. 🙏🏽

There were substantial layoffs at firm and management has denied, saying they were performance related (mostly bullshit). They have not ruled out [further] layoffs in the future.

I don’t want to lose my job, and it would absolutely suck. But I almost feel numb and hard to even get too worked up over the prospect given how emotionally exhausting this year has been. Maybe bcz I feel somewhat safe, but I feel like if it happens, it does, and I’ll find a way to recover/move on.
