My interest in FTI comes from the combination of what it does and how it does it. FTI sits at the intersection of financial analysis, disputes and business transformation, spanning segments such as corporate finance and restructuring, economic consulting, forensic and litigation support, and strategic communications. That breadth appeals to me because I want to work on problems where rigorous quantitative analysis is applied to real commercial and legal outcomes, rather than analysis for its own sake. The work tends to be expert-driven and evidence-based, which suits how I like to operate: forming a defensible position from data and testing it under scrutiny. The evidence is that throughout my academic and professional experience I have gravitated towards the most analytical, ambiguous work available to me, and I have consistently sought roles where my conclusions have to withstand challenge. The fit is that FTI values both technical rigour and clear communication under pressure, which are the two skills I have deliberately developed. I am also drawn to the prospect of working across disciplines and industries early in my career.
Model answers are practice examples written for this catalogue, not the employer’s answers or scoring guidance. Compare the structure and level of detail, then answer with your own experience.
Our FTI pack includes questions such as 'Why are you interested in consulting at FTI specifically?' and 'How many tennis balls could fit in a Boeing 747?' The recurring themes are firm motivation, analytical problem solving, influencing skills, decision making and market sizing.
For motivation questions, give a direct answer and back it with specific reasons tied to the firm. For market sizing, state your assumptions, estimate in layers, and finish with a number and a sanity check. Keep each step signposted so the reasoning is easy to follow.
There is one pack, 'Assessment Centre Interview', for the Global assessment centre stage. Start there, as it covers both the motivation and the analytical questions in the stage. If your invitation names a different market, choose the pack that matches it.
Our question banks are compiled from questions reported by candidates who took the actual recruitment assessments and interviews.
Packs are preparation material, not a prediction of your assessment questions. Model answers are practice examples, not the employer’s answers or scoring guidance. Check the question excerpts, role, market and stage before choosing a pack.
Every pack opens in your browser after purchase. The Questions edition has every question in the pack; the With answers edition adds a model answer to each answered question. Prices are in GBP. The full list of FTI Consulting packs is in the catalogue.
