incoming at ow, interviewed for BA and strategy 

I think the responses to the linked post are pretty accurate given that I've heard the amount of work/pay is very similar between c1 BA and strategy. As mentioned in the responses to the other post, I think the main differences are exits, travel, and type of work. 

If you like travel, want to exit into PE or finance, and prefer a larger variety of work - OW

If you don't want to travel, want to exit into tech or corp strat, and like banking/credit cards - c1

I think C1 strat is cool in that you get to work directly with the CEO/senior executives 

 

Hey great job on the offers. How did you prep for cases interviews at these places?
