Call with Consultant

Question

I will have a call with consultant from the firm that I will have interview with. However it's not the same office/region. I'm not looking for referal as I already got interview invitation

i already prepared some questions to him that will help my FIT answers. I would like to check how can I maximize this call and what questions should I ask him (in case I forgot any important questions)

thanks so much

Answer 1

HI, are you also interested in achieving a referral to submit an application soon or it's only for networking for the mid-term?

Best,
Antonello

Answer 4

Hi there,

Given you've already gotten a referral, you want to use this call to learn as much about the company as possible!

Learn about the culture, types of projects, etc. etc. Also, feel free to ask for tips in regards to the interview and casing. Finally, learn about how to succeed once at the firm! What does it take to do well and what tips does he have for you?

Fundamentally, ask the genuine questions you have about the role + company + interview!

Answer 5

Hello!

You need to be ready for the classical bahavioural quesiton here, since it can happen! (or it can be purely conversational, but better safe than sorry here)

If you want to deep dive on the topic, 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. 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.

Furthermore, you can find 5 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:

Answer 6

Hello there!

I think that you need to get as much useful information from the call as possible.
Learn about the internal values of the company, the culture, and cases that need to be solved every day. Also ask some tips on how to get through the interview.
