So I got an out of the blue invitation to interview for an office in SEA, think JKT/KL/SGP with one of MBB. Will have 2 case study's, my question is (please forgive me if this is an obvious answer - I am not too familiar with consulting hiring processes) should I expect the location to have a bearing upon the type of cases I will face? Just trying to factor in as much as possible so I am not caught (too) unprepared....
Thanks!

No, the office you interview at will not affect the type of case you are given. However, certain offices are obviously located in industry hubs (NYC = FSI, Chicago = Industrials, SF = Tech/FSI, etc.) so it would be good to understand what kind of clients that office routinely works with. Good talking points during interview and to show that you can do your homework.
I don't agree with the above poster, especially when it comes to interviews with Partners. They are much more likely to either use cases from their area of focus or even do a case based on a challenge one of their clients is facing at the time. If you know the office is particularly strong in a certain industry and has many firm leaders stationed there, it would make sense to at least be knowledgeable about that industry.
When I did my final round interview for the MBB I'm working for, two of the three cases were based on the industry that is most served in that particular city. It really helped to be familiar with that industry. It wouldn't be impossible to pass the interviews without prior knowledge, but it certainly helped and gave an edge.
