Top US BCG / MBB Coach - 5,000 sessions |Tech, Platinion, Big 4 | 9/9 personal interviews passed | 95% candidate success
1) Dealing with ambiguity (I thought I was prepared, I thought I knew what it was, I didn’t really)
2) Working and thinking in Powerpoint
3) Handling multiple stakeholders (“bosses”) with different views, availability, communication/visualization preferences, but all equal input/weighting
