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.

Reasons could be different:

  • Desire to make an impact (e.g. social impact)
  • Make a contribution to this unexplored field (e.g. emerging field)
  • Entrepreneurial spirit (e.g. test a new application)

Choosing a topic for your bachelor thesis/seminar paper is a challenge and takes time. If you wrote your thesis with passion, make it valuable and use it to gauge the interest of the interviewer (and show how excited you can be about solving a challenge).

Hope this helps!

Good luck with your preparation.
Federico
