AMA with a Former BCG Partner & Interviewer [6/22/2026] (Recording)

Interested in consulting? Curious about how top firms actually evaluate candidates? Join this interactive AMA with a former BCG Partner who progressed from Associate to Partner and spent years interviewing 100+ candidates, leading experienced-hire recruiting, and helping shape hiring decisions. This is not a presentation. There are no slides and no scripted agenda. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to ask candid questions and get direct, insider perspectives on the topics that matter most to you. The conversation will be driven entirely by your questions, allowing us to focus on the areas where you need the most guidance. Topics may include: * Building an effective application strategy * CV positioning and standing out from the crowd * Referrals and networking that actually make a difference * Choosing the right office * Avoiding the mistakes that derail otherwise strong candidates * Case interview preparation * Behavioral and fit interviews * What interviewers are really looking for * How to maximize your chances of receiving an offer Having served as an anchor interviewer and led recruiting efforts, I have a unique perspective on what separates successful candidates from those who fall short—and what it takes not only to break into consulting, but to thrive once you're there. Whether you're applying this cycle, preparing for interviews, or simply exploring consulting as a career path, this is an opportunity to get honest answers and practical advice from someone who has been on the decision-making side of the table.
