Don't spend more than 2-3 hours researching – we will assess based on how you think, not what you know!
To apply, go to tinyurl.com/BCGMentorship2019 and submit your CV and your answer (attaching your answer to the question as a file in the ‘Other’ section). If you want to submit a video or audio file, send it directly to 2019MentorshipLON@bcg.com.
