Interviewer was an alum, but apparently super involved with recruiting. She was super friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout.

It was very resume-based and fast-paced, but nothing too hard (super friendly vibes overall). A few of the questions:

– She asked me to clarify an experience in my resume.
– How was your experience at Firm A (summer internship)?
– Did you go directly to Firm X after that internship?
– Was your move to Role X a promotion (second role at Firm X)?
– Would you say you were on track with your peers at Firm X?
– Why did you receive a promotion ahead of your peers at Firm X?
– Why did you decide to leave Firm X?
– What is the role Y you took at Firm Y?
– What did you learn in that position?
– Tell me about a time when a teammate wasn’t pulling his own weight. What did you do?
– What did you mean by (specific thing I mentioned in previous question)?
– What do you do to guarantee you work well with your teammates?
– Do you lead teams?
– Which extracurriculars did you do at Firm Y?
– Why MBA?
– What is your backup plan after the MBA?
– Why Kellogg?
– What are the steps you need to do to achieve your post-MBA goal?
– Anything we didn’t cover?
– Any questions for me?
