Dear A!

I would recommend you to use a specific structure, which consists of 5 components:

1. Situation (background)

2. Problem (Complication)

3. Your approach (how did you manage this problem)

4. Results (Outcomes of your approach)

5. Your learnings (what you take from this situation.

If you can apply this framework to each of your stories and communicate in a top-down way, you would definitely leave a great impression. For more details, feel free to approach me.

Good luck,

André

Hello!

On top of the insights already shared in the post, 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.

Hi,

Let's start saying that your answer doesn't have to be strictly true :)

When I was asked to give an answer on that topic, I would talk about a situation in my academic experience where I was a leader of a group in project work. In that situation, I noticed that two members of my group were not working together and not talking at all. The project workload and overall quality were suffering from it.

I decided to bring them together for a coffee, discussed with them and discovered they were in disagreement on xxxx. I listened to both of them and suggested the xxx solution, middle ground from both their ideas since both of them seems to be right on different perspectives.

They accepted and together we went to the whole team to discuss the idea and next steps. They were enthusiast about the decision and the project went on without any other problem, leading us to win/best position/best mark

That's my example, of course. Hope you'll find it useful!
