FTI 🐠: what can I expect during a first round Consultant interview for Corporate Finance & Rx? Just behavioral? Technical knowledge? Not sure what they’d really expect on the technical side

It’ll be along the lines of “tell us how you’d build an operation similar to that of Walter White, and what would you do differently to better process the proceeds?”

When I interviewed as an undergrad in R1, I was asked why FTI, why me, a time I changed someone’s mind, how the financial statements are linked, and why a company would need to restructure.

Thanks! That’s what I’m expecting if I had to guess

It’s typically both. Depends on the office and interviewer(s), but I think it’s safest to prepare for a 30 minute behavioral / 30 minute technical split.

Not very familiar with those offices, unfortunately. I would say the above is a pretty safe bet for preparing. Good luck!
