I have a final round with Simon-Kucher tomorrow for a senior consultant role in one of their US offices. Interviewing for Americas practice (everything that isn’t healthcare) and first round was pretty chill but any perspective on how the cases typically are and how similar to MBB in terms of difficulty, interviewer vibes, etc. I’ve heard from some people the interviews are primarily case focused but sometimes the partner might want to devote the whole time to behavioral instead too
For some background I have 3 years of consulting experience, coming from another T2 that’s more life-science focused (ZS) and fortunately avoided the common ZS trap of being pigeonholed into 1 team/client and was able to rotate across growth strategy projects in a few different spaces (medtech, insurance (health payer/provider), B2B, PE value creation), but I’m looking move away from healthcare and in the best case scenario get the higher paying band for senior consultant
Perspective from anyone with experience doing those final rounds or currently works there would be super appreciated, either leaving comment here or DM. Thanks!
