Hi,

You can expect 4 types of questions:

1) Standard fit stories 

  • Leadership and teamwork
  • Entrepreneurial experience
  • Persuasion experience 

2) CV questions

  • What exactly did you achieve on this project?
  • How was your performance assessed by your boss?
  • Why did you change employer in xxxx year?

3) Non-standard Fit stories

  • Tell me about a time when you showed creativity?
  • How do you react on feedback?
  • What do you want to achieve in the next 5 years?
  • What are your weaknesses?

4) Motivational fit stories 

  • Why do you want to enter consulting?
  • Why do you want to join BCG?
  • Why do you want to join Dubai office?
  • Do you have a particular interest to any industry practice?

Note that your answers should be:
1) Structured
2) Promoting your image (showing your strengths)
3) Remarkable (non-standard)

I would be happy to help you to structure your answers. Message me for details.

Best,

Anton

Hi there,

I helped several people for the BCG Dubai office, the most common fit questions asked are:

  • Tell me about yourself
  • Why consulting
  • Why BCG
  • Why Dubai

You may want to prepare the typical fit stories as well, just in case they ask them, although they are not common in Dubai.

In terms of the cases, I know 40+ real case questions asked there, please feel free to PM me for more information.

Best,

Francesco
