Ex-McK Experienced Hire and EM - I show you how to perform at your best

The wrong answer to this question: it depends who's asking

The right answer to this question: an honest answer. As a former MBB interviewer, if I'd ask this question, it would be so that I can see what you care about other than consulting, work, or B-School. If you have a specific hobby that you do during vacation, say so. If you can demonstrate that you know when you need to do nothing except sit on a beach, do so.

Bottom line, just be authentic and show some parts of your personality.

Bonus marks - determine if the interviewer is interested or shares common interests. If so or if not, turn it into a conversation, not just a story.

Dear A,

There might be a trick in this question to check your dedication to the work and following your self-balance and preventing the burnout. Here I would confirm your dedication to getting your job done, but also convey your understanding that personal well-being is key to professional success.

As for the other things, like where and how, for me, doesn't make any sense.

Best,

André

Don't work for any firm that throws a trick question at you. Not cool.

2 Möglichkeiten: In einer Großstadt im Ausland (London, Rom, Prag etc) oder in der Sonne am Strand in der Südsee - Erkundung und Entdeckungsdrang vs. Entspannung. Beides ideal und wichtig.

My ideal vacation is a road trip with friends and we visit new exciting cities (visiting museums, concerts, sightseeing, bars, living in fascinating hotels …) combined with a few days at the beach in a luxury hotel which has the opportunity to go diving and a fantastic golf court and other possibilities to do sport, going out and getting in touch with the culture.

sportive, nature, reading books, good food. 
I had one of those ideal vacation when I did a self-drive safari through Botswana, super exciting, wilderness, wild animals, scared of lions at night, no internet, gps maps followed by a relaxed stay at Cape Town.

I would like to travel in nature or hike in a place on my bucket list for example safari, to go to a new country and discover myself through discovering other cultures, through connecting to nature that will help me to reflect on myself.
