EY-Parthenon 30 mins Fit Interview

Question

Hey all,

I have an upcoming EY-Parthenon Fit Interview for 30 mins with a Manager/Director. Any tips on what might be asked in the 30 mins and can anyone that has recently been through the same process share their experience here?

Thanks,

Hello!

If you want to learn about FIT prep, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Hi there,

There was a recent question on the same topic here:

https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/ey-parthenon-fit-30-mins-interview-13113

In terms of the preparation: common fit questions you may expect in a consulting interview are:

Tell me about yourself
Why consulting
Why us
Give me an example of when you led a team
Tell me about a time when you had to convince someone
What has been your major achievement so far
Why should we hire you

Questions about personal experience (4, 5 and 6) are standard at McKinsey, but other companies may ask them as well. To prepare those questions, I would recommend the following checklist:

Understand the difference between the leadership, impact and entrepreneurial drive dimensions. You can find more on that here: PEI preparation
Identify good stories for each area. Ideally you want to have two stories for each dimension
Use a structure for your story. The structure should emphasize the situation, the possible consequence, what you did, the challenges that you faced, the outcome
Identify for each story one sentence clarifying what the story is about and mention it at the very beginning. Think of it as the title of a newspaper article
Practice live, collect feedback from other candidates, repeat until you get fluent with it

Best,

Francesco
