Was sind die Hauptvorteile des Übens mit einem Coach?

Personalisiertes Feedback

Einer der Hauptvorteile der Zusammenarbeit mit einem Coach ist das Erhalten von maßgeschneidertem Feedback. Im Gegensatz zu allgemeinen Vorbereitungsmethoden kann ein Coach deine spezifischen Schwächen erkennen und dir gezielte Ratschläge geben, um dich zu verbessern. Dieser persönliche Ansatz stellt sicher, dass deine Vorbereitung effizient und zielgerichtet ist und deine individuellen Bedürfnisse berücksichtigt.

Realistische Simulation

Das Üben mit einem Coach ermöglicht es dir, eine realistische Interviewsituation zu erleben. Coaches, die zahlreiche Case Interviews durchgeführt haben, können den Druck und die Dynamik eines echten Interviews simulieren, wodurch du dich wohler und sicherer fühlst. Diese Erfahrung ist unbezahlbar, da sie dich darauf vorbereitet, den Stress und die Spontanität echter Interviews zu bewältigen.

Insiderwissen

Alle Coaches auf PrepLounge kommen selbst aus renommierten Beratungsunternehmen. Ihr Insiderwissen darüber, wonach Top-Unternehmen suchen, kann dir einen erheblichen Vorteil verschaffen. Sie können dir Einblicke in den Interviewprozess, häufige Fallstricke und die spezifischen Eigenschaften, die Unternehmen schätzen, geben, sodass du gut vorbereitet bist, diese Erwartungen zu erfüllen.

Strukturierter Ansatz

Ein Coach kann dir helfen, einen strukturierten Ansatz zur Lösung von Case-Problemen zu entwickeln. Diese strukturierte Denkweise ist in Case Interviews entscheidend, wo klare, logische und gut organisierte Antworten hoch geschätzt werden. Coaches können dir Frameworks und Methoden beibringen, die deinen Problemlösungsprozess vereinfachen und deine Antworten kohärenter und überzeugender machen.

Zeiteffizienz

Für Kandidat:innen mit begrenzter Vorbereitungszeit ist Coaching eine äußerst effiziente Methode, um sich vorzubereiten. Coaches können schnell Bereiche identifizieren, die verbessert werden müssen, und dir helfen, deine Anstrengungen auf die am meisten benötigten Bereiche zu konzentrieren. Diese gezielte Vorbereitung kann dir Zeit sparen und dir helfen, schneller voranzukommen, als du es alleine tun würdest.

Selbstvertrauen steigern

Selbstvertrauen spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Interviewleistung. Regelmäßiges Training mit einem Coach kann dein Selbstvertrauen stärken, indem es dich mit dem Interviewformat vertraut macht und dir hilft, deine Antworten zu verfeinern. Zu wissen, dass du dich gründlich mit fachkundiger Anleitung vorbereitet hast, kann die Angst erheblich reduzieren und deine Gesamtleistung verbessern.

Can you get rejected after the first interview in the first round with BCG?

9 Min

< 100

Beste Antwort von

Franco

Hi, Short answer: no in practice, candidates are not rejected after a single interview within the first round. In my experience (having conducted many interviews), decisions are made after completing all interviews in the round, not midway. In theory extreme cases could exist (e.g., a candidate being clearly unfit), but I’ve never personally seen it happen. On structure, most interviews follow a similar format: fit/PEI + case +your questions, but there is some flexibility: Each interviewer decides how to split the time Cases can vary (quantitative vs qualitative, with or without charts, conventional vs more open-ended) The more senior the interviewer, the more variability you may see; in later rounds, some may even keep the case shorter and more discussion-based On rejection:it’s important to remember that rejection is the norm; ~90% of candidates don’t pass.That said, candidates are rarely rejected for a single small issue. You are assessed on a full set of skills; one mistake alone usually does not lead to rejection, it’s an overall evaluation. More typically, rejection comes from: Lack of clear structure or inability to drive the case Weak communication (not necessarily language; more about clarity and logic) Difficulty extracting insights from data and linking back to the question On your specific concern: being a non-native speaker is not a problem per se. What matters is: being clear and structured taking a moment to think before speaking communicating your logic step by step English is important, but expectations can vary quite a bit depending on the office. WHat office/location are you applying to? Hope this helps, and good luck with your preparation! If you want to go deeper, feel free to DM me Best, Franco

How much would you charge to clean all the windows in Seattle?

35 Min

21,2k

Beste Antwort von

Antonello

It is one of the most popular Fermi questions and you could face it during the 1st round, when math and problem-solving skills are usually tested deeply. I will propose a quick solution, in order to give later some detailed considerations. Let's estimate the number of windows in Seattle. No. of residents in Seattle: you do not have to know that Seattle has almost 750k residents, but a good candidate should infer that it is a big city in the US and that can be assumed it has 1M residents. No. of windows per residents: you are actually interested in the number of facades to clean; a small window has 2 facades, the inner one and the external one, while bigger windows have 4 or more facades. Let's assume that an average residence in Seattle has 2 people and 40 window facades. So we have 20 residential facades per inhabitant. Let's assume to have other 20 commercial window facades per resident, including e.g. bars, offices, stores. -> 1M residents x 40 window facades, we have a total of 40M facades to clean. Now let's evaluate the charge per facade. Facades per hour: the time requested for a wide window of a store will be much higher than the service window of a little house. Let's assume an expert cleaner will take 1 min for a medium-sized window, i.e. 60 facades per hour. Charge per hour: let's assume an hourly rate of $10. We should also consider the cost for infrastructures, tools, products, and insurance: let's estimate other $5 per hour. -> in an hour: $15 / 60 facade, that gives 25 cents per window facade. --> Therefore to clean all the windows of Seattle you could charge $10M ($0,25 x 40M). Remember: in consulting nobody knows the number of windows in Seattle and maybe neither in window-cleaning companies :) What will be valued is not the accuracy of this type of numbers, but the reasoning you make behind them and your common sense (you should always wonder if numbers you estimate have sense or not). In addition, when you complete an estimation (e.g. the no. of residents in Seattle) you can ask the interviewer whether you can proceed with that number or she has something more accurate. The solution proposed will be considered great and will allows you to pass the round. But in order to really crack it and impress the interviewer, you should be more curious, proactive and come up with creative considerations, potentially based on personal experience. Some examples: When you calculate the no. of windows in town you can make some comparisons with your city, e.g.: "in Manhattan, I feel lucky with just one window at home, but I know that Seattle is more residential, houses are bigger and they usually have beautiful views on surrounding gardens and parks. Therefore let's assume an average house has 4 little windows (2 facades each), 4 medium (4 facades each) and 2 big (8 facades each)." Think out of the box: ask the interviewer if you should also consider the car windows. When you evaluate the cleaning speed you can say, with a bit of healthy self-irony: "A medium-sized facade take me at least 3-4 minutes to clean it. But I know to be a disaster :) I assume an expert cleaner with professional tools can handle it and move to the next one in 1 minute." In the end, to consider other risks not covered in the discussion, you could also introduce a safety factor, e.g. "the time evaluated do not consider the time to put up and put down the infrastructure and the time needed to wait for residents to free up windows. For these and other possible risks we should consider an increase of 10% of the estimate."

How did you find your dream role and career passion?

Beste Antwort von

Soheil

Hi there, I can relate a lot to what you’re describing — and honestly, this is a very typical phase after a few years in consulting. You’ve seen a lot, learned a lot… but it starts to feel a bit “all over the place.” A couple of things that might help you think about it more clearly. First, I wouldn’t put too much pressure on the idea of a single “career passion.” In practice, most people don’t find it in one shot. It’s usually more iterative — you notice what you enjoy a bit more, you move in that direction, and it becomes clearer over time. In your case, the retail/consumer interest is already a useful signal. It may not be “the answer,” but it’s definitely not random either. If you consistently enjoy those problems more, that’s worth taking seriously. What I’ve found helpful is to separate the question a bit, instead of trying to solve everything at once. For example: Do you actually want to stay in consulting as a way of working (variety, pace, external perspective)? Or are you more drawn to owning something and seeing it through over time (which usually points more toward in-house roles)? That distinction is often more important than the industry itself. Then on the industry side, you don’t need to be 100% sure. You just need a direction that feels more interesting than the alternatives. Retail seems to be that for you right now. Given that, both paths you mentioned make sense: either try to move closer to consumer/retail within consulting (even if it means switching firms) or move in-house and go deeper in that space There’s no “perfect” choice here — it’s more about what you want to optimize for next. One thing I would strongly recommend is not trying to figure this out only in your head. Talk to people. A few conversations with people in retail strategy roles (both in consulting and in-house) will give you much more clarity than weeks of thinking. Also, don’t worry too much about “locking in” at 35. You’re not choosing your last job — you’re choosing your next step. And it’s completely fine if that step just gets you closer, not all the way. If I simplify it, I’d do this: lean into the retail signal → decide whether you want consulting vs. in-house → test it through conversations / exposure → then make a move. That’s usually how people get out of this “stuck” feeling. Best, Soheil

Hello All,I did my BCG internship interview in jan and I didn't get in. Now I am preparing for full time and I am in target mba in europe. MBB are coming to the school in september. so my question is when should I start preparing? Will 4 months not be overkill?

2 Std

Beste Antwort von

Franco

Hi, I don’t think there’s such a thing as “too much preparation”; there is, however, such a thing as the wrong type of preparation. So 4months is not overkill if used properly. You have plenty of time between now and September, so I wouldn’t go full steam immediately. Instead think about building your preparation in a structured and consistent way. If your budget allows, I would strongly recommend starting with one coaching session early on. The goal is to: assess where you stand identify your main gaps define a clear preparation plan From there, consistency matters much more than intensity. On your concern about sounding robotic, this is usually not due to too much prep, but to the wrong kind of prep; for example, over-relying on memorized frameworks instead of learning how to lead the case and communicate in a clear, structured way. The goal is not to memorize more cases but to think better during the case. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to go deeper Best, Franco

Masters at Nova

Tommaso

Hey Anonymous, First of all: you are not alone, I remember how complicated it seems to face these choices at a very young age. And, from your story, it seems like you have already done a lot and are an incredibly proactive person -- kudos! However, answering to your question is almost impossible: you are comparing two institutions (Nova and UW) that frankly tend to be very similar. Both are very prestigious, they have similar rankings, they probably send a good number of students to MBB every year. Even Marketing and Management are not that different! The reality is that many other things in your life will co-determine what kind of job you will get. Getting a specific job is not a deterministic process where you can confidently say "I need to go to Uni X vs. Uni Y, because I will get a 30-50% higher change of working for McKinsey". There are too many factors (your internship, your interests, the specific needs of the office, the economic cycle, etc.) to control for. A Management program might be more aligned, but also more people will apply to MBB and so you might be less likely to stand out. The only good advice that I can give you is making a choice that you think will make you generally happier. Here, *generally* means in the average outcome, and not only in the xx% outcome where you land an MBB job straight out of undergrad. If you want to do more Strategy than Marketing/Analytics in your life, then switching might make sense if that's driven by genuine passion, maybe less so if driven by an unproven y% in improvement in your job prospects. And are you sure that your current degree gives you statistically significant lower chances of getting the work you need? When I was facing a similar choice, what helped me a ton was speaking with alumni. I was worried that my "favorite" MSc. program could have limited career opportunities, but speaking with five Alums showed me my assumption was totally baseless :) Good luck on your endeavors! Tom PS: Fwiw, keep in mind that my colleagues at McKinsey had every kind of degree: Management or Finance for sure, but also Marketing, Humanities, Design, Engineering, Biotech, etc. Also, many of them joined McKinsey much later in their life, so any choice you make you'll have more than a few opportunities to do strategy consulting.

Dual Degree Value for Recruitment

2 Std

< 100

Beste Antwort von

Soheil

Hi there, I like that you are thinking about this early — but I’d be careful not to overestimate how much a dual degree by itself moves the needle in recruiting. Having business + engineering is definitely a strong combo. It signals you’re quantitative and also understand the commercial side. That’s attractive for consulting, tech, product roles, etc. So yes, all else equal, it can make your profile a bit more interesting. But in reality, recruiters don’t sit there and say: “this person has two degrees, so hire.” They care much more about things like: what you actually did (internships, projects) how you think and communicate whether you’ve shown leadership or impact I’ve seen candidates with “perfect” academic profiles (including dual degrees) who struggled, and others with simpler backgrounds who did very well because their experience and story were stronger. Where the dual degree does help is if you use it well. If it just sits on your CV as: “BBA + Engineering”, it doesn’t add much. But if you can say: “I’ve worked on problems at the intersection of tech and business — for example…” then it becomes much more powerful. That’s when it actually differentiates you. Also worth thinking about the trade-off. A dual degree takes time and energy. If it comes at the expense of internships, networking, or leadership experience, it might not be the best trade. So the way I’d think about it is: do it if you’re genuinely interested in that mix and want to build a profile around it — not just because you think it will boost recruiting chances. If I had to summarize it simply: it’s a nice plus, but it won’t replace strong experience and a clear story. Best, Soheil

Initial LEK Online Assessment

Tommaso

Hey, The test is pretty common, almost standard. From what I’ve heard (late 2025), it is heavier on data questions (e.g., graphs, thinking in terms of growth or margin percentages) than most consulting tests. I would ensure you know how to read the most common graph types and answer questions where you have to quickly calculate data based on them. You might also expect some multiple-choice "situational questions" (e.g., "In your team, you have one person behaving in way X and another in way Y; you notice some tension. How would you manage this?"). Just FYI: these tests change fairly often, as Recruiting teams are continuously A/B testing what works best and rotate questions or types every 1-2 years once they realize people have become too familiar with them. Good luck! Tom

Hey, At least for the post-MBA role, the average wait time in the US for Kearney from my friends was 1-2 weeks (with the median probably closer to one week), so I expect something similar for the junior roles. However, keep in mind that the last few weeks have been weird; firms might still be trying to assess the impact of the new geopolitical happenings on staffing needs. In any case, I would write back after 15-20 days if you have not heard anything :) Best, Tom

Clinical to Healthcare Consulting - Networking Advice

Tommaso

Hi Emily, Your approach is correct. I think you are just facing a specific issue: MBB wants to hire profiles like you because they are definitely expanding into healthcare (traditionally, not a top-5 industry in terms of revenues for most firms in Europe) and need deeper expertise, but many firms just don't have a structured process for you to meet them. I would do a few things: Try to get a foot in the door through every event that is remotely connected to you (e.g., experienced hire, women in leadership) and tell the Recruiter you'd want a "coffee chat" with them or with a consultant to understand how/if their firm hires folks healthcare experts like you Broaden the scope of potential connections: I think any healthcare consultant (Manager and above) works is a good fit for a first chat! If you have NHS experience, try to look into Public Sector / Public Policy positions. McKinsey for example has a dedicated practice called SHaPE (https://www.mckinsey.com/mckinseys-work-for-social-healthcare-and-public-entities) that often has dedicated Recruiters and pipelines to find more experienced candidates LinkedIn is the right channel, but don’t be discouraged by a low response rate -- the standard is typically a 10-15% success rate. And try to A/B test different message formats (e.g., long vs. short, focus on the work they do vs. their career trajectory). Hope this helps! Tom
