I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

BCG Casey Attire

Hello,

 

I am taking BCG's online test (Casey) this week. I know that at the end of the case I need to record myself summarizing my findings/recommendation. Is the attire important for this?

 

I'm currently on vacation and don't have a suit and tie with me.

 

Thank you!

Hi there,

Personally, I would always rather dress one level up than one level down.

Ultimately, try to think about how you would feel the moment that camera is recording.

If it were me, I would wear a dress shirt at the very least (possibly a tie or jacket depending on the region)

Dear candidate, I know there are different answers and all are valid. I personally would still tend towards formal clothes but maybe you can find a really inexpensive shirt and jacket to buy or you just wear the shirt, but a suit shirt.

Hi there, I don't think you need business formal for this. A regular shirt would be fine. 

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

The male consultant dress code is usually dress shirt, no tie (except for everyone's first day in the office…). Can't go wrong with that and hopefully this isn't too hard to pull off during your holidays.

Best of luck!
