Hi there,

thanks for asking this creative and interesting question on our Consulting Q&A!

We at PrepLounge see no reason why this question shouldn't be asked on our forum. Our Q&A is here to give you the opportunity to discuss anything related to your career in consulting and of course, creative questions like this are welcome, as well.

Plus, this question might even be part of your consulting interview in form of a brain teaser!

Our team is curious to find out which Marvel character you would assign to represent your firm, and looking forward to reading more on this discussion!

Best,

Astrid

Hi Marcus! Thanks for your follow-up! We have no information that a firm has actually used this same question in a particular interview. However, we are saying that consulting firms like to test the candidate's ability to think on the spot by asking them unexpected questions. This may be in form of brain teasers that you find on our website, and we can also imagine that in rare cases a question similar to this may come up. But don't panic - there is no right or wrong answer here! They will just assess your ability to handle unexpected situations and as always the structure of your answer. Best of luck for your MBB application and interview process!
