So I’ve got a BCG interview this Friday. I don’t feel like I’ve had enough time to prep. Do you think I can get them to move it out?

Yes.

Tell them that work got crazy and you are not prepared enough. You'd like to reschedule to avoid wasting anybodies time.

No point in them interviewing you if you are not prepared and the best you can hope for is getting kicked out.

There's a big range.
When I did recruiting as an interviewee, I did probably 60 to 80. I didn't want to leave anything to chance.

As an interviewer now, I see that repetitions pay off. Most people that make it through are well prepared. The number of cases they say differ, but it is usually a large number.

I got super efficient using preplounge. Just scheduled them throughout the day and did cases for a few weeks.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
