Hi guys,

I have a "funny" question about a question I found on the website from more than one source as a typical question in the personal fit part.

That's: "How would you react if you discover there's a mistake on a deck slide you are going to present with your Manager in a few minutes on client site?"

1) How would you guys answer ?

2) What would the interviewer want to assess?

Thanks for the answer!

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. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!

Hope you find it useful!
