Hi...just wondering if anyone is interested in practicing some case interviews over the next week or so via Skype.

Please leave email or email me at wardd23@gmail. and we can set something up! Thanks.

Hi!

I have a case interview tomorrow that I literally found out about 2 hrs ago. Its for a freshman leadership tomorrow.

The two cases given as examples were 1) an M&A / HR case and 2) an insurance case.

Any tips? Suggestions?

What do I do if its a case I'm really not familiar with, like something to do with insurance

Thanks!

No help

I went through demo videos of the site and it seems to be nicely done. I didn't like its structuring too much but maybe because it was only a demo video.

I tried finding reviews or information about the owner/creation of the content but can't.

Just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with it

Is it better to start studying far in advance or do you all study several weeks before the interview?
Are there any particular business classes that should be (or highly recommended to be) taken prior to studying for cases or is it all just they way you think?

Thanks

Hello.
I am seeking a case interview practice partner for Wednesday and Thursday November 14 and 15, to do one case at about 10 AM (US time). This is for an upcoming interview in healthcare consulting. Hopefully the case would contain some quantitative component and much critical thinking.
Please send me an email if interested. kcasepractice at gmail dot com

Thank you and take care.

I have an interview with a large consulting firm in a week and have no idea how to start to prepare. I wasn't really expecting to get the interview, so I hadn't done much. Any resources you guys would recommend? I have Case in Point.

I have an interview upcoming with one of the MBBs and would have to start preparing really fast. Unfortunately, my business school only has Case in Point in its library, while I would also like to use Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng. Since it is too late to order it online now, could anybody help me with an electronic version of the book? Any help would be appreciated!

I am an MBA student at a top tier school and shall be applying to management consulting positions in the fall. I am looking for a partner to practice management consulting case interviews with.
I am currently living in the san francisco bay area and am open to practice casing one-on-one as well as via Skype...
email me at ravi.highwayblue AT gmail.com if you are interested

So I was looking for Victor Cheng's website for online case practices. I remember him sending everyone an email during his free giveaway about how he was creating a website and those who had to pay for the ebook would receive 4 months free. So I was searching around for the website but couldn't find it.. Anyone know if it exist yet? Or if there's something similar somewhere?

Hey,

I have a Bain interview coming up next week and I have been preparing for a while now. After running through some mock interviews with friends, I wanted to do some professional mock interviews with consultants or former consultants.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any paid services where you can live interview with a coach on Skype and get feedback after. I have tired using Victor Cheung's caseinterveiwcoach.com. Any other recommendations would be extremely helpful. And any specific recommendation of good coaches who specifically interview in the more open ended Bain style would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Dear all,
I'm currently seeking for a partner for preparing to written and verbal case interviews through Skype.
In case anyone is interested in practicing and improving skills of cracking cases, please email me on [email protected]
I'm available for 2-3 hours each evening.

Hey,

Anyone available for Skype interviews later this week? Would really appreciate it. PM me.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

So I have an MBB first round interview coming up in the next two weeks. I scoured the forums and came to find that the two most often cited resources to use were Case In Point and caseinterview.com

I personally started with the latter and found it quite useful. I know that many people have sworn by Case In Point and would say it may be the only material you need but while working through both I was stuck in what approach to take to cracking the cases. Specifically CIP has some 12 suggested frameworks while Victor Cheung only has 4, and in fact uses mainly 2 80% of the time.

I'll preface this by saying it may sound silly, but it's the first time I'll be going to a strategy consulting interview. I've been practicing case studies and scribbling notes and frameworks in a notebook. When I go to the actual interview though, should I be using something other than a notebook to write down my thoughts, calculations, etc.? Few sheets of computer paper? Not sure, heh.

I presume an interviewer won't care, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks.

Has anyone ever interviewed with Civic Consulting Alliance, or heard from anyone who has? It's a pro-bono outfit in Chicago that consults different public sector / non-profit organizations on topics like economic development, education, environment, etc.

I have an interview for a fellowship (post-analyst, pre-MBA role) coming up in a couple of weeks, and was told that it would be a mix of "case and behavioral questions." Assuming the cases will focus on public / social sector issues, but would be grateful if anyone can shed more light.

I just had first round with BCG. I believe that I did reasonably well, but for both cases, there was not enough time to summarize the case. The interviewers didn't ask me either. Is this a deal breaker?

Hi, I am an undergraduate student at Columbia, NYC looking to find someone to practice case interviews with from Nov. 2011 and Onward. Please be seriously interested in helping me with this prep as I would be in return if you also need a partner to prep with. You don’t have to be located in NYC. My hours are flexible, and I can practice every day and on weekends. Please email me at ssoniza AT yahoo dot com ([email protected]) if you are interested in practicing with me consistently. Thanks!

Dear all,

I have an interview for the litigation practice of a well respected boutique.

Where can i find cases to practice that you woud expect to get from a litigation consulting firm?

Thanks in advance!

Got a first-rounder coming up with Oliver Wyman for an entry-level consultant position in their Dallas office. It's a 30-min., over-the-phone case interview.

Any preparation tips?

I just purchased and am reading through CiP, and OW actually has a pretty decent prep guide to their interviews on their website. If anyone has any further pointers or resources to note, though, let me know!

I'm studying for case interviews and am using basically all the resources I've been able to get my hands on. One of them, of course, is CiP, which nearly everybody recommends.

I've got a question for people who used it successfully, though: The practice cases/dialogues Consentino lays out in CiP seem to be a bit blunt. I'm contrasting this to, say, Victor Cheng's discussions where he keeps drilling down and asking relevant questions about a certain topic to test a hypothesis (looking for data on different relevant segments, etc. etc. before jumping in), so that his final approach is data-driven.

I am looking for someone to practice and discuss case interviews with.

I am in Tokyo so it might help if you are here or near my time zone.

However, I am up to talking with anyone so please contact me. I am from the east coast and still talk to a lot of people there so I am usually on the computer.

I have secured an interview with McKinsey and Millward Brown (Kantar Group). Hopefully will have some interviews with Booz and other firms once I submit the requested Japanese resume. I am still looking for firms to apply to.

If you want to talk, please message me your skype name and I'll hit you up.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing a summer analyst stint at an investment bank and will likely choose to shop around in the fall for other IBs and consulting gigs. I'm way more interested in consulting but I did not perform well for summer internship interviews. I'm ending my internship in a week and am hoping to get some practice in. I've done about 20+ cases before, mainly in December, January and February.

I'm looking for two kinds of people:

Do you have a case interview coming up soon?
Are you looking for case practice partners?
Are you tired being practicing with the same partner?
Do you want to check out case interview skills with someone completely new to you?

Do you have a case interview coming up soon?

If "yes" to any of these, "Case Interview Nuts" group on Skype will be an alternative for you. Join to practice with many other new partners via audio / video chat, and to share resources, experiences, and more.

Benefits:
1) mock interviews with new partners to explore various interview styles

Hey,

I had an interview Thursday with an MBB, something odd occurred:
my first interviewer said I did well and ask me for my notes right after I was done
my second interview did not say anything, and specifically said he did not need my notes.

They said they will let me know if I will get an offer early next week.

Is it odd that an interviewer does not take your notes? Does it mean it is a ding?

Thanks!

So I'm a case interview Virgin and will approach one relatively soon. I've been reading up on major consulting websites and their sample cases/tips, but I'm wondering if a real interview will ever end up that intensive? Are those good references for what a 30 minute case interview may be like? If not what kind of advice can you give? Thanks in advance.

I am an undergrad from a target school for MBB and have a consulting internship at a boutique in DC this summer. I want to make the jump to MBB for full time. I have done a fair amount of case interview practice, but want to do more before full time recruiting next fall.

I am looking for someone who has similar goals/experiance and wants to meet regularly over the summer to practice cases. I will have a car, so anywhere in the DC area would work.

PM me if interested.

Also, if anyone has advice on how best to prepare for case inteviews besides doing mock interviews, that would be appreciated. Things I do now include reviewing frameworks, reading Michael Porter, as well as staying up to date on news.

I have an interview with a reputable international IB in the UAE region and they said I will be having a case interview.

What do these interviews consist of? I've heard of case interviews with consulting firms but I don't think they are talking about the same thing.

Has anyone have experience with this? Are these just technical questions? I've never came across a case interview for I-banking

Hey all,

I'm looking for someone who wants to practice MBB-style case interviews in London over the next month or so.

I was thinking about meeting at a Starbucks somewhere and taking turns interviewing. I'd meet anywhere from 2-6 times/week. I'm currently working normal business hours but am otherwise flexible.

I'll check replies on here, let me know if you're interested.

Cheers,
Ryan

Greetings,
I am currently applying for a management consulting position - Human Capital, Talent & Organizational Performance, Change Management - within large Management Consulting firms.

My question is this; understanding that I DO NOT have an MBA and the content knowledge associated with such a degree, how do I best prepare for the case interview?

I thank you in advance and I welcome all advice.

~Best
