Hallo zusammen,
Ich möchte gerne wissen, welche Sprache häufiger in Projekten genutzt wird, Englisch oder Deutsch? Ich spreche fließend Englisch, aber noch nicht fließend Deutsch.
Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Hallo,
ich würde mich freuen, meine Gedanken dazu zu teilen:
- Grundsätzlich hängt das von der jeweiligen Strategieberatung, den Landessprachen und dem Klienten ab.
- Da ich annehme, dass du bzgl. der Situation in Deutschland fragst, ist die Unternehmenssprache vieler Klienten weiterhin Deutsch, und ein C-2-Sprachniveau wird bei vielen Strategieberatungen bereits vor der Bewerbung benötigt (zumindest z.B. bei McKinsey und BCG; Bain scheint in dieser Hinsicht flexibler zu sein). Bzgl. der Situation bei TKMC würde ich dir dringend dazu raten, dich mit dem Recruiting-Team in Verbindung zu setzen oder die Stellenausschreibung durchzulesen.
Viele Grüße,
Hagen

Hi there,
If you're able to ask this question in English, you'll be able to get more answers from us coaches!

Assuming you will be working in Germany a lot, German language skills are relevant of course. Some clients (mostly smaller to mid-size companies) might even require the project teams to be German speaking. However, a lot is done in English as well so you should be fine - especially since you already speak some German.
Plus the company would not have made you an offer if they had serious doubts about being able to staff you.
Just use it as an opportunity to practice your German when you can.
Good luck

Hi und danke für Deine Frage.
Als Praktikant:in bei TKMC solltest du in der Lage sein sowohl Deutsch als auch Englisch auf einem guten Niveau sprechen/anwenden zu können. In diesem Hinblick musst du allerdings natürlich kein:e Muttersprachler:in sein - melde Dich gerne bei uns, solltest Du Interesse an einem Praktikum, aber Zweifel an deinen Sprachfähigkeiten haben. Dann können wir gemeinsam beurteilen, ob ein Praktikum für beide Seiten passt.
Liebe Grüße!
