Hi Anonymous,

There are a many small details which form an impression, but let me focus on the most important differantiators:

• Self-conscious and interested, professional overall impression, positive tone
• Rigidly structured, logical thinking
• Rigidly structured, logical communication (!)
• Laser-sharp focus on key aspects
• Feels naturally comfortable with numbers
• Lightning-fast math
• Facts and quantification instead of opinions and ideas
• Strong structure at the beginning of the case
• Driving and structuring case discussion pro-actively in a driver-seat position
• Keeps overview of content, process and time
• Action-oriented, so-what is always clear
• Strong synthesis with top-down structure and clear recommendation and rationale

Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hello!

I leave you here a slide from 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 direcly adresses what you are asking!

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!

Hi

I suggest you have a look at this thread

1) Takes analysis/insight to the next level (i.e. says something I really hadn't considered)

2) Is quick to adapt/adjust - take feedback well, and if they make a mistake or gets stuck, they pivot quickly

3) Is likeable! I.e. they're modest, not imposing, seem kind/want to learn, seem like they'll just figure things out, etc.

Dear A,

Pretty often, the difference between great and average good candidate is not that big. But what really makes a difference is experience and preparation. So the more smart hours and approach you have used for the entire preparation, actually makes you paid off during the interview, because very great candidate would be able to interact actively with an interviewer, involving in the case solution, build it as a dialog and it will be very easy way to go for both of them. The perfect candidate will also hypothesis driven and will crack all the cases consistently and very easy. This is what we are looking for in the interviews while selecting the people.

Good luck,

and let me know if you want to be one of the few.

Best,
André
