Can someone share their experience for finance candidates as well?
Debrief of one of the applicants whom we supported with mock interviews:
Male - 6 years of Exp. In PE/Investment Research who wants to move to Management Consulting post MBA.
• How did I manage time between helping a startup and core work responsibilities.
• They wanted to know why I haven’t taken any compensation from the startup for the time I have dedicated to it.
• Gave me a hypothetical scenario on similar lines as my Achievements example and wanted me to share how I will make an investment decision.
• Asked me to describe how I intend to add value to the cohort based on my professional experience and personal skillsets.
• Wanted to know WHY Consulting when I am already in a lucrative industry.
• Wanted to understand how else can I reach my career gaols w/o an MBA from ISB.
• I had mentioned that I will help the engineers in my cohort solve doubts regarding accounting concepts after classes. They wanted to know how will I able to dedicate time for this considering I will need a high GPA to crack a consulting role.
