Hi all,
I have my BCG R2 interview coming up next week for the position of Senior Associate. The feedback I received from R1 was that my structure was spot on and mainly about taking some time before speaking and taking more time for math, making it as simple as possible (and doing it correctly in one go). Personally, I think besides this I could really use some tips about the beginning of the case. During my peer practice, after hearing the case prompt and taking notes, I would like to quickly be able to identify 2-3 hypotheses to test with clarifying questions before starting on my structure. However, my mind goes tends to go blank trying to digest all the information (this happened in the interview as well). I guess my questions are as follows:
- Are there some tips and tricks I can use before creating a structure and how do I come up with initial hypotheses to test in order to get a more relevant structure?
- How do I check if my math approach is simple and how to ensure it's structured?
- What should I do in the 2-4 seconds before speaking? I tend to be a fast talker :)
Many thanks!
