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!

It depends on the position you are applying for. E.g. for entry levels you should focus on the skills more stressed during your assessment, e.g. problem solving and team working, providing 2 or 3 good examples from your working/university experiences.

Best,

Harworker and passionate about my work that I spend hours doing the best in my work and doing it the perfect way. For example , during prepation for E.ON interview. I loved and enjoyed preparing for interview so I spend hours and even make a jokes with friends about infos that I read. 

Lately I have been passionate about dencentralized energy project, where I needed to develop energy system in isolated place in Nigeria. I totally liked what I am doing since it felt for me a real impact project since there was no electricity in the place.

Zodiac project, since that moment my interest in consultancy started. I worked passionately and for hours in this project that I got good grade with congratulations of Jury. To the point that I before I sleep I think about the project.

Resourcefulness is something I have been praised constantly by almost all the people I worked with. And more specifically I liked the phrase used in one of my reviews about getting things done yet in a safe way.. Making ppl feel safe… . I attribute that to how I grew up, and moved around. As a newcomer immigrant you always have to learn about others first and find better ways to get things quickly. at my current role…
