Be very personable in your interviews. This is important to google as culture is key. Focus on impact. They will ask you scenario based questions to gauge your thought process to solving a problem, not so much whether the answer is “correct.” It could be different for Fin Strat, but that was my experience.

Everyone I interviewed with seemed happy and open. Don’t act like a consultant. Haha

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
