When applying for BCG, do they ask for transcripts for undergrad GPA even if you are experienced hire? My GPA was like 3.0 and it is too low but don’t want them to check

No idea about applying, I don’t think they ask. I didn’t have my GPA on my resume so I don’t think it matters.

If you get an offer, they’ll have a background check company verify your resume. To show education, they’ll ask for transcripts. But I requested the background check and there are zero details on it. Just yes or no if you graduated and what your degree is.

Just don’t put your gpa on your resume or lie about it in the (unlikely) event that anyone asks.

You are required to put the GPA in a box on the online application (or at least you were when I applied, I guess it’s been almost 10 years now).

My undergrad GPA started with a 2, no one cares if you have more recent and relevant evidence of academic success.

I have a 3.5 undergrad gpa and BCG hasn’t even looked at me. It’s my dream company how do I get my foot in? I have Deloitte Strategy experience and a CFA L3 candidate

Justin had my background check (I'm a lateral hire), they explicitly asked me just to enter details for my most recent degree (which is my masters degree).

Hi All,

Join birlasoft one month back, but didn't get any project yet. Till now gave two client round perform well in both but afterwards didn't get any kind of response from RMG. RMG people are also not too interactive, they hardly respond to the pings.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable now as in my 8years career it is happening the first time that I am idle for a whole month, also there is no one to interact with. This whole atmosphere is now making me loose my confidence.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
