What is MBB Case Workshop about?
Hey guys,
Has anyone attended case workshop before? MBB firms all have a case workshop between resume drop deadline and on-campus interview at my school. What is it all about? I assume they are not merely there to help you. Is it the Round 0 we talk about? Are you going to do PST/group interview there? Does it have any impact on whether you can get an on-campus interview?
Thanks in advance!
What's the exact wording of the posting? We've had "case workshops" before and they often involve walking through a group case with a chance for questions.
Case Workshop
Invited students only. Join us in our XXX office to run through a case with some of our consultants.
It depends. Some case workshops are invite-only for candidates who are invited to interview, and other case workshops are open to everyone. In any case, it's an informal "training session" to go over how approach a typical case. Usually the firm will send a few relatively new hires (1-2 years experience) to run through a mock case, and answer any questions you have.
It won't really have an impact on your prospects in recruiting. You might make a connection with one of the consultants, but only in rare circumstances will that completely turn around a decision. The real purpose of the case workshops is to ensure that all interviewees have at least basic knowledge of what a case is and how to prepare (they don't want people coming into interviews not knowing what to expect, and therefore wasting the interviewer's time).
Thanks for your reply. Really helpful. Do you know when will the PST be? On the same day of on-campus interview?
