Hi friends,
I am Manager at Tier 2 and wish to apply to MBB in the London office. Not sure I will be interviewed for the PL level but appreciate it if the experts throw some light on below areas:
1) Is the Problem-solving game for McK and Casey for BCG compulsory for application at the PL level as well ? Somehow I am not comfortable with the McK game. I am ok to face AP/P in case rounds but don't want to see those animals/insects :(
2) What entrance test bain conducts in the London office? Applicable to PL applications as well?
3) Why it is typically said that lateral PL hire at BCG has not been successful historically? I can understand that PL is the most challenging role in any consulting firm, but need to understand specific areas which will cause the challenge. Also, why a similar challenge is not heard for lateral EM movement in McK or lateral Manager movement in Bain?
4) When the hierarchy is decided? before 1st case or after 1st round?
5) I heard from BCG P (from different geo) that cases for the expert track would be more focused on my sector whereas McK EM London said that cases for the expert track would be the same as the generalist track. Can someone validate this?
