Be honest. Applying to other firms shows your interesting in consulting. The only effect can be to accelerate the process.

Best,

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), adressing topics precisely as your question.

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.

Furthermore, you can find 2 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:

None, I have decided my favourite company that I want to work with because they/you focus on sustainability, building hub in the nordics… 

I have been talking to various consultants and partners of that firm and I like their approach, their values and the chance of building your own path.

I have applied to the major MBB competitor of the firm because I would like to work in consulting and to a management consulting firm in the field of Sustainability as i am really interested in this field. However to be a good management consultant I believe that experience from many industries and functions is important. Therefore, I am primarily interested in your company.

This is actually my first application, and i was uncertain whether I should get some experience by applying to other firms, however the first meeting with your firm left such a positive feeling that I just tired to go with it. If however it should not workout here I am sure i will apply to other firms such as x y z since i really feel like being a consultant is what I want to do.
