Two questions-
1. Is Business Casual (Suit but no tie) fine for BCG Round 1 Zoom interviews on a Friday?
2. The email from the recruiter said that there will be two 45 min ‘case study interviews’. Now online, there’s talks about the BCG potential test - I’m expecting just regular cases though (in London). Do I need to worry about the BCG potential test?

1. Sure. Ties are rarely used nowadays
2. usually there would be computer-based case study (case study on screen with multi voice questions), then several rounds of case study. Might be good to clarify that with recruiting team.

@OP so just went through the interview - they won’t or shouldn’t ask why BCG over Bain and Mck - it’s more worded like why do you want to leave your current firm and why BCG combined - which is pretty valid quesiton

I’m a newer registered nurse (2 years) and want to get into remote work. I keep getting denied due to lack of experience but to even get the job I have now (case manager) the company knew one of my family members and they gave me a chance to interview because of that. For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.

I have a shown the same as gap for personal reasons in my resume.

Will i have any problem after joining this new MNC during background verification as per the standards?..

Really need your help if anyone has faced this situation or know anything on the same.

Thank you

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

I have been applying for internships the last few months. Got few first round interviews but never concluded further in the application stage. Lots of rejections because I am not from a target university.

Bit of background. I am a Physics and Math undergrad with previous experience in Capital Markets and Research.
