a bit of an open-ended question, but what are the general predictors of on-the-job success at MBB? (both tangible things like test scores, case interview performance, and intangible things like character, drive etc.)

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks
