What advice would you give your 15-year-old self?

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), adressing topics precisely as your question.

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:

In the age of 15, i was planning to go abroad to make an exchange year of school in Spain:

I would recommend myself, really to enjoy every day of that experience, to spend more than to save money and to make shure, that the created network of people would last for your whole life.

Alway be curious, make as many experiences as you can. 

Start taking care about your future as soon as possible

Locker bleiben vor einem Sturm der Herausforderungen und das beste aus der Zeit machen (Spaß haben & sich angemessen vorbereiten)

know that no matter what choice you make, there are ALWAYS multiple ways to get to any goal or persue any dream 

Be more confident and practice more.

Be authentic, identify and pursue things you enjoy, mind the others but be aware you cannot control their emotions or reactions 100%

everything happens for a reason you might not see yet

Do not worry too much about what will happen next, you cannot have everything under your control. If you work hard, the things that you deserve will come.

U are doing great in your twenties. Go out more and develop your social skills instead of staying in your room in front of computer. Cherish more people contact and learn more from people in real life through experiences and not from movies and series.

Nie entmutigen lassen und immer weiter machen, was jetzt unmöglich scheint, ist in ein paar Jahren selbstverständlich

Do not be afraid of making mistakes.

I would say yourself to study more and not to worry about some things such as relationships and people. 

I would tell him to listen more to my teachers recommandations.

Things always don't work your way. Believe in fate and try to look at the positive side.

Get your heart checked 

Stay hungry. Stay foolish. 

Study Hard & get into medical exams

be patient and trust the process and approach

(editiert)

Be patient and let things unfold first before making assumptions

To be a good person , help as many , quality> quantity

don't stress yourself, even when things don't work out the way you want them to work out there's a reason for it
either because there's something better coming or because it's an important lesson from which you can grow

Trau dich mehr

Be yourself

I would give my 15 year old self the following advice:

It's okay to make mistakes, mistakes are vital for growth. In fact, they are inevitable, but learn from there and learn the importance of seeking guidance and advice from individuals who are more experienced as this would also set a perspective on certain circumstances and situations.
