Pass rate is 95%. According to their website which has a dynamic state-by-state dashboard of interview results. In line with competitors in NJ.

You’re looking at an outdated website link. It’s 97% now. But drops the farther away from nyc you get.

Pretty sure it’s easier than Deloitte

OP, BCG has high standards regardless of the office. I interviewed in the Hudson Yards office. Did not make it past the final round.

What would I do differently?
1. Practice case interviews with a buddy. Ace them.
2. Built a compelling story on why you and why BCG.

Good luck to you.

Oh, and Slalom1 is absolutely right about the why BCG story. That is important, we want people who want to be BCGers, not just management consultants.

Fair ? Good? Bad ?
Thanks

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
