What this interview covers
Interviewers for Management Consultant roles at Boston Consulting Group typically test across 2 areas:
TechnicalBehavioral
Philippine-specific tips for this role
- ▸ Don't say 'I will assume 50% market share' without justification. Instead, use a logical bottom-up or top-down approach based on real Philippines demographics. Practice saying 'I will start by creating a framework before doing the math.'
- ▸ Avoid saying 'I think the Philippines is a good market because it has many people.' Instead, use a framework like PESTEL or customer-competitor-company to stay organized. Say 'Let me look at the macro environment first.'
- ▸ Don't say 'I just showed the data and they immediately agreed.' In Philippine corporate culture, senior leaders can be especially risk-averse. Instead, say 'I first acknowledged their perspective, then used a visual comparison to make the data easy to understand.'
