Got 4 interviews - how to prepare?

Hey guys,

finally I got a serious topic. I had someone open a door, for me the biggest door yet, and I got invites to interviews at KPMG (only Audit), ATKearny, Strategy& (now PwC, former Booz) and BCG.

Eventhough my CV has some flaws (stopped my first study subject and started from scratch again), I always wanted to step into Consulting and was really active over all the years doing a lot of extracurricular stuff. Don't want to go into detail there.

And so now, here I am, with a big big big opportunity. Be aware, I am German and apply for those internships in Germany. Ill face the normal recruiting process with long interviews, case studies etc.

I am happy for any advice I can get. If you have good threads or articles, I'd be grateful if you share the links.

Thanks a lot!

Always use STAR for the first rounds/behavioral. Create a set of questions (Use Google/Glassdoor to obtain common questions asked). I have one from my interview days. PM me and I can send it across if you need it.

Case interview - I would recommend Case in Point and also practice a lot. Good luck!
