What are your expectations?
Since my life has different aspects, I will divide my expectations into those 5 areas: family, romantic relationship, work, friends and personal development. In each area I have imediate expectations and long term ones.

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)
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.
Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!
Hi,
really depend on the circumstances the question is asked:
- MBB Interview: I think you should explain your ambition to be part of this specific firm by reading the main values of this company, for instance in Bain you could aspire to become a Mentor for future generations in order to give back the advices and help you received by other Bainees (one of the Bain value is the strong cooperation among employees)
- MBA Interview: It is very important to demostrate that you have a clear idea on what you wanna do next the MBA. For instance specify what industry, company and role in order to tangible contribute to the MBA community and of course its ranking.
I expect to use this Fellowship as a learning period. Embracing the day to day life of a consultant and eventually shaking through to ana Analyst position.
I expect that I will work in a fast-paced environment to solve clients' problems together with my colleagues. Everyone has a specific task which should always be aligned with what my colleagues on the project are doing. I also expect that I will travel a lot. In addition, I expect the work to be challenging because of the volume of tasks that have to be fulfilled within one project and strict timelines. I would also expect to improve over time and to adjust my style of work, which is really scientific and overly exact but not as fast right now, to accomodate the fast pace.
I excpect a job with a broad look into different businesses in a fast working and hopefully intrnational environment. My excpectation is that the work days will be long and they will require a lot of self-management and hard working spritit - exactly what I am.
