BCG interview in 2-4 weeks. need practice with interviewee driven interviews
I'd practice the interviewer-led flow specifically. Short structure, answer the question, then synthesize.
BCG mocks helped me most when the partner interrupted and changed direction like a real interviewer.
2-4 weeks is enough. I'd focus less on collecting cases and more on reviewing the same mistakes.
Some case prompts are long and I worry I will miss a constraint while taking notes. Is it acceptable to ask the interviewer to repeat part of the prompt even after I have already started writing?
Mayank G.CoachYes. Asking the interviewer to repeat part of a long prompt is better than building the case on a constraint you may have heard incorrectly.
I was halfway through a mock case before realizing I had interpreted the client's goal incorrectly. If that happens in a real interview, should I stop and reset the case or try to adjust my analysis from where I am?
Mayank G.CoachCorrect the misunderstanding once you recognize it. Continuing to solve the wrong problem usually creates a larger issue than briefly resetting.
In mocks I sometimes jump straight into what I did and only later realize the interviewer does not understand the situation. If that happens live, should I restart the story or keep going?
Mayank G.CoachYou usually do not need to restart the entire answer. Add the missing context briefly and continue.
