BCG X Data Science "Technical" Case

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from BCG X!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, I would highly advise you to contact the recruiter and/or new consultants to be sure.
• Moreover, considering that you applied to BCG X, I would expect the technical interview to focus on the type of work they do. So I would advise you to do some research on that.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming BCG X interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey there, 

I've seen some technical cases, and what they have that is different from "traditional" cases is focus on "technical" processes and approaches of data management, ways to code and represent the data etc. 

A lot of aspects are still similar to a standard case interview, but there is a technical expertise section that is designed for people with the technical background applying for "technical" roles

Hi there, 

Congrats on getting a DS interview with BCG! Technical case interview is a relatively recent idea as expert consulting started to boom in the past decade. Hence why there aren't a lot of material off-the-shelf.  

From my experience conducting such interviews and being an candidate myself, it is a case interview combined with DS-specific questions. The goal is to evaluate whether the candidate can solve a business case using technical skills. Your interviewer will also be an expert consulting person who knows both the business and technical concepts well. 

Feel free to reach out if any further questions, or you'd like a mock interview of such!

Hi there,

It's very similar to the McKinsey TEI. If you do a quick Google search, you will find some helpful articles (I wrote one too - not allowed to link here directly).

Cheers,
