Answer 1

Thank you for your question! It generally depends on the position you are applying for. You find the specific requirements in each job posting: Alle Jobs | Roland Berger. For all our positions we are looking for people with analytical and conceptual skills, an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong personality. Furthermore, you should bring along very good school and university grades, previous experience in strategic positions as well as experience abroad. Regarding your specific questions:

2) I would recommend starting early with internships to gain practical experience and develop your skills.

3) Previous experience is never a disadvantage. Generally, we take a close look at the specific areas of responsibility in previous experience.

4) In the DACH region it is certainly beneficial to have good German language skills, but not necessarily required for each position. It depends on the specific position.
