What’s the typical interview process at BCG? Can someone please share who may have recently gone through the interview process for a traditional Consultant role in simple steps?

1. Screening with the recruiter
2. FIT
3. Online Math test or something similar
4. Cases (2 cases)

Experice hire or entry level?

For entry-level (the one I know since I literally finished last week), it varies from office to office. But in Brazil (and also on Chicago's and NYC's office), the process goes as follow:

1 - Gmat based + business case test
2 - video of one and a half minute + CV screening + GPA analysis (yeah BCG values that, don't ask me. Mine isn't great tbh, but a good one can boost your chances)
3 - First round of interviews (2 interviews per rounds). Usually taken by consultants (post-MBA), but I actually got a partner also in the first round.
4 - Final round of interview (also 2 interviews). Usually done by principals and partners. Got one of each on mine.

Had a meeting with recruiting yesterday for the interview process and we were told that the in person interview is first then it’s followed by the AI chat box case. This if for NYC’s office though

This would be for experienced hire at Consultant level. I’m based out of NYC.

I have a friend who told me he sought treatment for alcohol abuse 6 mo ago. We talk a lot and I try not to judge or ask too many questions about his progress, just wanting to be a supportive friend who doesn’t pressure him. Today I brought him to a very laid back picnic… there was drinking but plenty of non-alcoholic alternatives, and it was a very chill group. Toward the end of the day I noticed him drink something. Should I have confronted and stopped him? Should I bring it up now? Guilty now

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
