Hi Everyone,
I've recently gone through campus recruitment for a number of firms, and have been fortunate to receive a couple of offers from Tier 2 & Boutique firms this year. However, due to COVID affecting the length of my degree, I'm also now in a position to potentially go through the recruitment process again in the following year.
One of the interesting pieces of feedback I received from my MBB interviews was that although I did well mechanically in my cases, I could work on pulling 2nd and 3rd order insights consistently in my cases. I've read broadly that this means being more critical in the way that you approach exhibits and exercising better business judgement and insight, however, I'm at a loss for how I can practically learn to get better at this.
Could anyone provide some insight as to what pulling 2nd & 3rd order insights actually looks like in an interview example?

That clarifies it a lot Emily - thanks for that! What I gather is that this is something that either comes naturally, or through more experience and practice. As an undergrad, I can imagine this would probably come by practicing with being more critical with exhibits, which is what I'll look to do! Thanks again :)

Yes it can be practiced and learned. Keep asking yourself "so what"?
