I decided to go to a in-person interview, i went to some classes, had a little tour and was anxiously waiting for the hard-balled questions i was told i was going to get in the interview… To my surprise, they never came. The interview was very amicable with “easy,” sometimes superficial, questions. I had heard of deep questions been thrown at candidates, but I almost got none of those. I can’t seem to make out what this means, knowing that some other candidates did, in fact, get those types of questions and from my understanding that is the norm, and mine were the exception, but I guess I can only wait and see for the final decision in March.
Here are the questions I was asked:
- Have you and your wife been enjoying Boston so far?
- Did you do a class visit before the interview? What did you think about it?
- How did your co-founders and you divide the roles you currently have?
- Did you divide the equity equally?
- Why do you have the largest team out of the rest of the co-founders?
- How did the idea for your company come about?
- Is your company’ platform web-based or mobile based?
- What challenges does your business face?
- Tell me about the entrepreneurship landscape in [your country].
- What challenges does it face?
- What are your goals after the MBA?
- Is there something else you would like to add?
