How to answer "what make you a good consultant here?"
I answered something like 1. I am ex-consultant; 2. I have lived in the country that I am applying for, I know the culture norms and business situation there; 2. I bring cultural perspective and business experience from other regions.
But it didn't seem like the interivewer was happy. How should I answer the question?
Hello!
These type of FIT question are precisely the topic covered in the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB", that 
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.
Furthermore, you can find 2 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:

Hi there,
Honestly, that answer it pretty weak....
1) Ex-consultant doesn't mean you're good at it....what did you do well as an ex-consultant?
2) You live in the country? So do x million others...that doesn't make you a good consultant. Furthermore, a good consultant can go into any country and rapidly understand the business landscape, cultural norms etc....that's why they're consultants!
3) Cultural perspective/experience from other regions also isn't that important. How does that actually directly relate to doing your job?
What you really need to talk about is the traits required for a good consultant and how you exhibit them. So you need to talk about how you are good at any of the following (pick whichever you can defend the best):
