This is a hidden "weakness" question. Find a weakness that isn't really one, and also explain why it isn't even really an issue anymore.

Additionally, you can pick something that is a weakness elsewhere, but not at weakness at consulting firms. E.G. "I question/challenge common beliefs/assumptions. This wasn't viewed positively at my old firm"

or alternatively, something along the lines of I tend to rely too much on data and this could be a challenge in situations where a lot of data is not available or hard to get. Perhaps, framing this as being "fact-driven" vs intuitive might be a positive for consulting firms but could lead to delays in cases where speed and agility are important such as responding to a competitive move.

One reason not to hire me could be that I don't have a business education. However, I am a quick learner and moreover, I propose that my scientific background includes transferable skills.

I have not yet worked in a consultancy, I need to adjust to the new work environment with more structure and processes, but I know that  I am very flexible, easily coping with change

I had never worked in an international environment in previous positions and therefore I am not experienced in professional working situations with people from different cultures. I am confident that I can overcome this challenge because I have had many interactions with people from different cultures, in my travels and during my school years.

How so? Could you explain? Is it possible to turn this weakness into something positive? If no, it might be a deal-breaker. But I'm sure it's possible;)

I think I can be a good fit at your company, the only reason not to hire me would be if you had other candidates that fitted better
