Hi Good folks! I have recently submitted my resume for a MBB consultant position as an experienced hire. While i have not heard officially from HR - one of the firm's current consultants has reached out to me to have coffee to answer any questions i have about the firm. My questions are: 1.) Is this normal? 2.) What questions should i ask? 3.) What questions should i be prepared to answer? Thanks guys!
