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!

Positive Feedback

Learn from feedback that I receive and I work really in improving. Exp: communication skills. 

Moving from country to an other country with people from different cultures made me introvert and a little bit lost how to communicate but after receiving feedback from friends I worked on improving my communication skills and be myself at the same time. 

I have many international friends 

Negative Feedback

Very details oriented (Previous manager)

Expected Feedback

Hardworker, positive and optimist person,

Unexpected Feedback

Feedback received from my supervisor during internship in ZA, that she was not going to give opportunity during interview to no one but I convinced her as a strong candidate who really knows what to do and love what she is going to do.

From the last feedback I became from my last job, the positive part was that I had been good, fulfilling all expectations. Negative was my lack of commitment to detail, and the lack of will to work all of the things out for which there was already a solution given, aka doing the easy work “by foot”. This was also the expected feedback. I didn't expect this to be so important to make me “good” and not “very good”. 

Positive feedback

Attention to detail and Initiative. I wrote a thought leadership article that was recently published on the website. Being used to guide clients about nature-related financial risk.

Negative feedback

I see as positive opportunity. Build confidence. My manager who was very senior leader was inspiring and coached me about how to go for opportunities, the power of trying.

Hi Anonymous,

learning from feedback is crucial in consulting. Personally, I've had the chance to rotate across multiple teams / countires and gained a lot of feedback over the years.

I have been structuring my feedback depending on a few variables:
- Level of seniority (senior, peer, junior) >> a person's perspective changes depending on seniority, this will help you weight the feedback you receive accordingly
- Time spent together: how much time did I work with that person?
- Type of project we did together: was it an intense case (e.g. due diligence) or a longer project (>3 months)
- Type of feedback session (e.g. intermediate review, final review)
- Feedback Focus:where did the feedback focused on? was it about my speaking, reasoning, zero defect, etc ... if you could tag the feedback based on the areas where you did well / need to improve, that could also help you make a comparison in the future
- Time: remember to put a date next to the feedback, this will allow you to get a much better chronological view

A matrix could be one way of categorizing your feedback. But I would spend a bit more time in categorizing it with additional variables. For this reason, also having an excel with the categorization above and links to the respective documents could help.

Hope this answer helps!

Goo luck with your preparation

Hi anon,

I'd structure this in a matrix and start populating chronologically or in categories e.g. extracurricular roles, university degree, internship.

Best of luck!
