Why consulting, why us, and closing the round
The question you are guaranteed to be asked, that almost nobody prepares, and that senior partners keep asking in final rounds even though they know you have already answered it three times. It is a structure test disguised as small talk — and the questions you ask at the end are part of the same segment.
What you'll be able to do
- Explain the three things an interviewer is actually testing with "why consulting?"
- Build an answer with structure, content and delivery — three reasons, each with real evidence and a personal link
- Convert a reason that sounds bad out loud into one that sounds real
- Handle the "why our firm?" follow-up, the come-back question, and the questions you ask at the end

The question you are guaranteed to be asked, that almost nobody prepares, and that senior partners keep asking in final rounds even though they know you have already answered it three times. It is a structure test disguised as small talk — and the questions you ask at the end are part of the same segment. This walkthrough runs about 23 minutes, with runnable code you can edit and re-run as you read.
