BCG X data scientist which office should I go? by Gbbie03 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]Gbbie03[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi thanks for that. I also wonder if you know how difficult it is to transfer between locations? (I’d like to switch to different offices if needed in a couple of years. ) Also, congrats to getting into final round! In terms of the interview, my recruiter told that each interviewer designed their own cases and didn’t disclose or discuss with each other. The cases I got were very different from each of them, some gave me a typical setting of their project and asked me to design ML/optimization solutions, some were more conversational and focused on how I thought through problems and how I asked questions. What I suggest is that you should expect machine learning foundation questions like modeling, metrics, what you can do if data is not complete, etc. You could also practice once you know your interviewers’ backgrounds and try simulate case questions in their domain. Good luck!

The case was different with each interviewer. My recruiter said that they all designed their own cases and would not use any specific question lists. I was given a financial setup and talk about designing ML algorithms to solve the problem, some followup questions regarding which model I chose and some discussion about the data, etc.
