Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.
How long is current hiring freeze for?

Off topic: I am stuck in a service based company for last 4 years in a shitty project. The work I do can be done by a 12th grader. Now i want to move out by learning something new & changing my domain. But the thing is I am not able to study because I am stuck in a comfort zone and learning new thing gives me bad anxiety. It feels like I will never learn & be forever stuck here. Pls help on how to come out of comfort zone, learn things and apply for the job. Tata Consultancy Infosys Wipro

Seems a silly rule when in reality we use excel to size opportunities and develop market models
I understand that people turn their cameras off for personal reasons, but it might be weird optics to turn your camera off during an interview where they know you need math.
McK does a good bit of mental math on the spot at work during problem solvings with partners. Like…a lot. You gotta have your mental math down eventually anyway
Deal with it while it’s a small elephant and not this huge one up close. Good analogy
If you can't do mental arithmetic, please don't join.
will they ask me to sum up my proposed salary and bonus target? I’ll practice that one real good
When I was interviewing, I was intimidated by the math, but it really isn’t anything too complex that you would need a calculator for. What I did was use a pen and paper to set up the problems and for some of the calculations just did the short-cuts in my head.
