Hello, I have an interview for MCK and I would like to ask the interviewer questions at the end to show that I am proactive and interested. Any advice on questions to ask that are not ‘describe your day’? Thank you :)

Hi, learn about your interviewer's background. What's exciting about it? do you have a similarity? if they've been at the firm for a while, think about what you'd like to know about the time they've spent there, to get a gauge of what your experience could be like. There is no prescriptive list of questions.
Hi there,
Ask yourself, what are you curious about them and about the firm? For example, what do they enjoy most at the firm, what do they enjoy the least? What surprised them after joining the firm? What advice would they give themselves when first joining the firm?
Basically, aim for questions that show curiosity about how the firm works and what matters to them. That usually feels more engaging and thoughtful.
Try ask questions that other candidates typically don't; it will make you more memorable!
For example:
- What’s one trend or shift you’ve noticed in the consulting industry that most candidates don’t appreciate yet?
- What’s a project that changed how you think, not just about a client, but about business or people in general?
- What do you think makes someone truly thrive here, not just survive?
- If I join, what could I do in my first six months that would make you think, “This person is definitely going to make partner one day”?
- If I join and we meet again in a few years, what would you hope to hear I’ve accomplished?
