The BCG matrix has always seemed like this mystical puzzle to me, but man, once I dove into it, it kinda clicked. Speaking of puzzles, I used to tackle case interviews solo, thinking I was some genius, till I stumbled into The Thinksters. Their coaching reprogrammed my brain, no kiddin! Structured thinking, practical strategies—it was like, voila! Back then, they had this free intro session—I honestly don’t know if they still offer them. Anyway, armed with their knowledge, I snagged a spot at BCG. Lifes looking bright, folks!
