    If you want a job in Consulting, you'll have to know how to prepare for Case Interviews.
    In this video, I will go over case interview questions and answers from PwC, Deloitte, and BCG so that you can prepare them, and nail them.
    Most Consulting firms will have a similar job interview process but will have different consulting interviews.
    PwC has a group case interview, Deloitte has short case interviews and firms like Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain, McKinsey, and Mackenzie have longer case Interviews.
    Back when I was conducting those job interviews, I had no idea the amount of preparation one needs to succeed.
    I hope this video gives you a better idea of how to prepare and be ready!

    I think the point on how it's not an exam but a conversation in the part on how to structure your answer is spot on, often we forget were just doing this with people just like you.

    • @independentconsultant

      My best interviews were the ones where I had a fluid conversation instead of the question-answer-question format!

    Hey great video! I have been going to multiple interviews at the same company, Netcompany. I searched as a IT-Consultant, where development and client interaction will be key in the process of projects. I enjoy this structure, from my Start-up development days as a student. The case I got was more of system architecture and how I would use UML, E-R to draw the systems needs both functional and logical.
    Do you have good references for this kind of case problem solving? Or is it just a logical process where I learn the diagram features and discuss code structure on the go?

    I did great on the case interview for my job application for the job I have now. They broke us into small groups with other applicants where we made recommendations together in a presentation after being given a case. I think some key things that helped me was that I made my team mates felt heard - you can do this by acknowledging/praising their points, linking this to other points, and asking them questions so we can develop their thoughts into recommendations. Also - make sure to utilise any quantitative information given to you, and use that in your response. This puts weight behind your recommendations and shows you are listening. You can have some cool ideas and recommendations but back them up with stats if you can.

    Great video, I love your channel.
    Reccomendation: I thought that with the first buddy, you got in his way too quickly, starting to recap and not wait for him to actually finish talking (he had just paused). He might have some other insights to share, ofc he would not dismiss you to talk more.
    I recommend asking if is that all, then start recapping.
    Cheers

    I want to know what is the next step after you put the problem in the framework, how do you judge it then? do you use numbers and calculate? for example when you ask who are the competitors how do you use that? Is the final hypothesis a number or came out of a math or just a sentence by looking at the framework?
