I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Mailand)
Interview
The interview focused on problem-solving and estimation skills. I was asked to pitch a project related to infrastructure and energy, requiring quick calculations and strategic thinking. The interviewer presented a broad question about estimating energy consumption and optimizing investments, expecting a structured breakdown of assumptions, calculations, and recommendations. It was challenging to estimate data on the spot while maintaining a logical and persuasive argument. The case also required considering external factors such as regulatory constraints, technological feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. Overall, the interview tested analytical skills, business intuition, and the ability to think under pressure.

Question 1
What is a problem you faced, and how did you solve it?
Multiple stage interview process. Initial maths, reasoning stage. Two case study stages - 2 cases per stage of varying topics and difficulty. They provide subscription to online case study coaching ahead of the studies - well worth doing.
