I've been invited to a set of interviews for an expert associate partner position at one of the MBB firms. I'd appreciate hearing about experiences with interviews at this level and in particular how they differ from the more common associate/consultant level interviews. Thanks!

Hi there,
This is great - well done.
In general, you should expect a much more fluid/dynamic conversation. It's unlikely you'll actually be given a case (though check with HR).
The questions in the interview will really drill down into a) Your expertise b) Your thinking ability and c) Your communication
The way I normally prepare senior-level hires is by working through brainstorming questions and reviewing answers. This is both stand-alone brainstorming questions and related/sequential questions that build off of your answers.
