BCG - how long to hear back from Round 1 & how to prepare for Round 2?

Hello,

I just finished Round 1 with 2 interviews from a Principal and a Partner. Just wondering how long it usually takes to hear back, and in the meantime how best to prepare for Round 2 if I get there? Since round 1 already had a partner, will round 2 differ much?


Thanks

Hey there,

Hearing back: it can take from 24hrs to 7-10 days. I would say the median is around 2-3 working days :). No worries if you don't hear back very early, it might just be because the Partner is travelling for client work.

Prep: R2 interviews have a faster tempo and can have more 'curveball' questions. When you prep with peers, tell them to behave less patiently, interrupting you more often if you don't give the right answer straight away, etc.. Try also to practice on weirder case types (industries you are not aware of, more conceptual prompts, etc.), beyond the standard market sizing of a B2C market :)

Good luck!

Best,

Tom
