Bain & Company Tomorrow will be my first day at Boston Consulting Group and I really look forward to it.

I’ve always wanted to break into data science + consulting, and still vividly remember how disappointed I was when Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company both rejected me in first/final rounds 2 years ago (Bain & Company didn’t even care to interview me😊).

At the end of the day it’s just a job, but I just want to encourage everyone: stick to your goals,do the hard work and it will pay off

I kinda needed this right now. I was just rejected by both Bain & BCG at the final round today, and by McK at first round a few months ago. I know it’s a crapshoot, but I did think I would make it this time into any of the 3. I’ve told myself to never take a job too seriously, but I really prepared like crazy for this, months in advance. The rejections across the board just made me feel like it was all in vain, or like I just don’t have it in me.

Sorry for venting, it came out naturally. I don’t need any pity, I’ll be fine hahaha. I’ll either try again or move on, or both

What changed between the performance in your interviews years ago and your most recent? If you don’t mind me asking.

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).
