BCG first round interview(s)

Hi,

I just completed my first interview with BCG SEA as an experienced hire. The interviewer was a principal. Just wondering what will come next? Will there be more interviews as part of Round 1? And when can I expect to hear back. 

Thank you!

Hi,

First of all, good luck with your interviews, exciting stage to be at. I’ve interviewed quite a bit in SEA as a BCG Principal,so I’m familiar with how things typically work there ;-)

Usually the first round consists of two interviews, but its not a strict rule. If they didn’t mention a second interview as part of Round 1, it’s quite possible that what you had was the full first round.

In terms of timing decisions are often made quite quickly. However, for more specialized roles (e.g. with specific industry or functional expertise)  it can take a bit longer, sometimes up to a couple of weeks, as they may be coordinating across multiple candidates to fill a limited number of targeted roles. This is a bit different from generalist hiring

If you pass the first round, you will  move on to a second round with most likely two interviews with MDs or Senior MDs from your practice area.

If you want to discuss further (e.g., how second rounds differ or how to prepare), feel free to DM me

Best of luck!
