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.

I have mostly applied my team work skills and reducing conflict in the team. That means taking on a mediation role when there is conflict


After my master studies i made some internships during which i learnt that i should frequently inform my supervisors on my progress to make sure we are on the same page. This learning was very useful for my PhD as I would frequently communicate my progress to my supervisor proactively even with mails between meetings which he found very professional.

I learned how to perform literature review when working as a PhD researcher. This has helped me as a columnist in a radio where I was volunteer

In zeitkritischen Situationen gut weiterzuarbeiten sowie herausfordernde Gespräche führen.
