I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

How to reply this question: Are you applying for other consultancy firms?

Is it common to get this question during fit interview at consulting firms? and if yes, how to reply it the best?

Sure you should say yes.

Everyone is applying for other consultancy. The interview process is so tough that it's difficult to know in advance which firm you will get, even though you are prepared.

So just say 'yes' and explain you want to be a strategic consultant so you maximise your chance of success, but of course if you had the opportunity to choose you would go to their firm :)

Ex-MBB, Experienced Hire; I will teach you not only the how, but also the why of case interviews

"Yes" :)

Look, everyone knows you are applying to a number of consultancies and that you will go to MBB if you get them. Just be truthful, and make sure to follow with a solid explanation of why this particular company is the one you are hoping to join

Hi,

Yes, they may ask this question

You should answer "yes" since you want to be a consultant, excited about the industry and being a smart person you want to diversify the risks.

Best.

Hello!

On top of the insights already shared in the post, 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.

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!
