Difference between MBB & T2/B4/other cases?

Is there a real, tangible difference between cases give by MBB and cases given by other firms? I've been grinding MBB cases quite a bit, but less so others. Wondering if I should get my hands on some T2 cases just to be safe for recruiting.

No, T2 cases won't be sufficiently different that you need to prep any different than you would for BCG or Bain (McK is interviewer-led, which is a little bit different in terms of how the conversation flows). Keep in mind it's more common in T2 interviews for the case to be created by the interviewers themselves which means that your case is likely to reflect the project mix at the given T2 firm or specific group you're interviewing for (vs MBB which can be more broad since they recruit in a more generalist way)
