Hi everyone,
Next week I’ll be attending the final round for a T2 consulting firm (Partner interview), and it will be my first in-person interview. I was wondering what the main differences are compared to an online/remote interview, and which small details or behaviors I should pay particular attention to.
Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
In person interviews are similar in content to virtual ones, but presence and interpersonal dynamics matter more. Pay attention to body language, eye contact, and overall professionalism, and be slightly more conversational while staying structured. Bring printed copies of your CV, arrive early, and be mindful of small things like posture, active listening, and how you engage in informal moments before or after the interview.
Partners often focus on judgment, maturity, and whether they would enjoy working with you, so be polished, confident, and authentic. Treat it as a professional conversation rather than a performance.
Happy to help you prep if useful, feel free to reach out.
Best,
Evelina
Hi there,
There are no differences in the way the interview is structured/conducted/valuated
Interviewers are well trained to ensure no bias
My advice is to arrive on time, dress professionally (e.g., suit) and ensure you introduce yourself with a handshake
hey there :)
for in-person the main differences are energy, presence and body language. small details like firm handshake, eye contact, posture, and natural engagement matter more than online. also be ready for slightly more conversational moments, showing curiosity and interpersonal skills. just be confident, clear, and professional, and it will come across naturally. if you want, we can do a quick prep session to run through these points.
best,
Alessa :)
