Hi there,

In general, nothing different than other consulting firms (why consulting, why RB, why this office location...) - however, at the Dubai office, we do have the tendency of asking some "out of the box questions" just to see how the applicants would answer if they were taken off guard by an unexpected question.

Feel free to reach out for specific tips. (3 years as an interviewer at RB Dubai office)

Best

Khaled

Dear A,

All the fit questions are quite similar in the firms. Usually there are:

* Tell me about yourself (Walk me through your resume)
* Why consulting
* Why this company (Roland Berger)
* The story about leadership (How you've taken an initiative and led the people
to achieve something)
* The story about Personal Impact (How you persuaded people)
* Entrepreneurial Drive (Innovative solutions that you are proud of most)
* Your questions to the interviewer

For your every story, I would recommend you to use a specific structure, which consists of 5 components:

1. Situation (background)

2. Problem (Complication)

3. Your approach (how did you manage this problem)

4. Results (Outcomes of your approach)

5. Your learnings (what you take from this situation)

If you can apply this framework to every of your PEI stories and communicate in a top-down way, you would definitely leave great impression. For more details, feel free to approach me.

Good luck,

André

Hi,

I would spend a lot more time fousing on being more adaptable than on trying to understand any specific company's approach!

No matter what, you will need to know:

• Why Consulting
• Why x company / office
• Resume walkthrough
• Stories across a range of topics

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)

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.
