This is for those who managed to secure or seeking to secure an internship at Roland Berger ( Middle East would be a plus). I have my phone interview scheduled for next week and wanted suggestions as to how to prepare for it. Thanks

Hi, they are usually aligned with MBB. In Dubai, entry-level consultants can reach $70k (plus, you have to consider that taxes are very low). Check on Glassdoor for more accurate numbers. Best, Antonello
