Fit preparation experienced hire Strategy& Germany

Hi,

a) 1 - nope, depends on the interviewer. A lot of them have MBB background and interviewers will be similar to MBBs

2. Nope. But you might have good and bad interviewers. However, they don't coordinate it

3. Depending on your expertise, they'll test your industry knowledge

B.

1. Nope, it's all types. The check is a bit higher with S& and they have long-standing clients. Also, PWC wold offload some clients if there is a conflict of interest with the audit

2. Too complicated. 60% of projects unfortunately lead to nowhere. And its not related to a particular consulting company. The internal measure of success is - were you available to sell the next project and is the client happy?

3. There is no USP, this industry is not that creative

Best

Hi there,

I'll try to keep it short.

A. The focus of the interview depends on the interviewers and their preferences & experience. The same applies to "bad cop / good cop" mentality - totally depends on the interviewer - or his mood at this specific moment.

B. "Strategy to execution" > other types. Completely agree with Vlad and Oliver on measuring the success.

C. Again, as Oliver said, you should be ready to speak your mind as well as receive criticism. Think about it when discussing the personal fit part.

Hope it helps,

Cheers,

GB

Hi there,

Wow! You've been incredibly thorough.

Honestly, while I appreciate this thoroughness, I do have two pieces of advice:

1) Try not to overcomplicate here. A1 and A2, B2 and B3, and C1 and C2 are just either too detailed, the wrong thing to focus on, don't really matter, or you'll never find an answer for

2) These types of questions need to be asked (and should have already been asked) during your informational chats and networking with this firm!

Hi - you've got some great answer already. Is this for the Munich or Frankfurt office? Feel free to DM and I can provide some specific pointers
