I'm based in UK and our cases are done a bit differently so unfortunately I don't know how you yanks do it. But I can connect you with a US colleague if you'd like? Best of luck mate. Do you have old colleagues at BCG that can at least help you fast track through it?

I can help you out. Are you guys not allowed to boomerang though?

That's fucking shitty. Are you US based?

Yep... you?

That's surprising! Am in a west coast office and we have a well loved principal who has boomeranged 5 times

My understanding is McKinsey and BCG use different case methods. Would be wary about that. That said, smart people are smart people.

👋I don't want to go back to BCG... 👋I want to go to Deloitte

Still looking for someone who would like to practice :)

Which office were you in OP? Nobody there you are still friends with?

What do you mean lives were made hard? Also curious- why leaving industry?

Wait we have to redo case interviews to come back to BCG?

Were you let go, op? This sounds odd

Just went to work in industry for a couple of years but found it a bit boring. Not sure about the boomerang process with BCG but want want to make sure my case skills are up to date. If interested, give a burner

Unless you were let go, in which case boomeranging not possible, I don't think you need to do a case
