Ex Mckinsey Global MD Dominic Barton revealed only 1% of the applicant receive a job offer. So we can all agree that calls for one to be extremely smart to be among the1%. so my question is do you have to be genius or extremely smart to get job offer from MBB and succeed in that environment? or can an average person who is willing to work hard, practice cases,do coaching etc be among the 1% and the succeed in MBB? is cracking cases and succeeding at MBB something that can be learned if you are an average person? Thanks in advance.
Thanks.
Thank you very much
Hi Khaled, thank you for your response. Do you have any tips on not being to detail oriented? As an ISTJ (MBTI type) I'm kinda struggling with that while prepping.
ISTJ is the most common type at MBB and it's exactly the detail oriented type
I'm not a big fan of MBTI or other personality types - people got too hung up on their "categories" (but that's a dicussion for another day ;) ... to make sure you don't end up being to detailed oriented and forget about the big picture, just ask yourself 3 why's...why do i need this information? why? why? that 3rd why would get you to a level that is more strategic than operational and would help you structure your pyramidal thought process
I do agree with you that people tend to put themselves in a box based on MBTIs, but I also think there are some benefits to it. Anyway, thanks a lot for the responses!
