Step 4) Third round interview: partner
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fit interview:
why consulting, why BCG, tell me about yourself, any interesting facts not on your CV? Some questions about projects, testing if you have transferable skills.
Case interview (first round):
Acquisition-case, figure out a good price to bid. Math was not hard, creativity was the hardest part.
Chatbot (first round):
Case is not hard, but time pressure is quite high. Also no option of asking clarrifying questions, so if you don't understand it completely, you'll have to trust your guts.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
