Case Interview

Have an MBB case interview coming up in about 10 days and have very limited understanding of cases. Starting with crafting cases today.

What else can I do in the next 10 days to prep for this? Planning to dedicate 4-5 hours each day

Hello 🐟

Applying to McKinsey for their implementation team in healthcare but open to other MBB or big 4 positions. Looking for anyone to help case interview practice with me and/or give referrals.

Also really need likes to start DMing - thanks!

Best way to prepare for a MBB case interview? 2 weeks out.

MBBs - what’s your top piece of advice for acing the MBB case interview? And if I have 1 month to prep, how many cases should I be doing per week (no prior consulting experience)?

I'm a Canadian MBA student and have been applying to MBB. My class is focused on case interview prep but is unable to secure interviews. We were encouraged to network via LinkedIn, but MBBer's hardly have time to check their unread messages. Even if you get a response, how much influence would they have on recruitment? Case interview prep seems to be wasted effort because of this.
To the MBBer's here: What methods did you use to get a foot in the door? What are your recommendations?

Does anyone know if MBB (Toronto) is hiring a lot these days?

Currently working at big 4 (manager) with no case interview experience/ no mba … thinking it would at least take me 2-3 months to prep and network. Would trying to get in by Jan be too late?

Also, my spouse is thinking of potentially moving to the states next year. Do you know if US MBB helps new hire with their H1B visa? (Understand it may be difficult but want to check if it’s worth trying)

Hi everyone,

Anyone from MBB or other consulting firms that wouldnt mind doing a practice case interview with me? I'm prepping for a first round of interviews and would like some feedback.

I'd really appreciate it :)

Thank you!

Anyone at MBB want to help me do a practice case interview? I have one coming up and I'm looking to practice.
Thanks! 😊

Anyone free for a mock case interview this Friday? Preferably someone who has recruited with MBB in the past or at least 20+ cases with others.

Have a case interview with Accenture Strategy (high tech strategy / generalist) - how do these compare to an MBB or Google BizOps case? A bit stressed trying to find time to prepare.

a bit of an open-ended question, but what are the general predictors of on-the-job success at MBB? (both tangible things like test scores, case interview performance, and intangible things like character, drive etc.)

Anyone given a mini case interview for Business manager role at Capital One recently for the McLean office? How hard is the case? A recent grad friend is asking- the sample case they have sent is ridiculously easy, he has no clue. Is it just interviewer driven, standard MBB type with just larger numbers?

Case Interview Secrets or Case In Point?
Rocketblocks vs Prep Lounge vs Crafting Cases?
Any other case prep resources out there? MBB folks how did you prep and what materials/web resources did you use?

Attending a virtual case interview workshop for an MBB office soon. Anyone got any good questions they ask that aren’t the usual “wHaTs tHe wOrK-lIfE bAlAnCe LiKe hErE” ones?

TIA!

Can you apply at MBB if you're not great at math lol. Honestly the only part about the case interview that scares me if the math part

My case interview is in 2 days with MBB and I haven’t had time to prepare😅. Wish me luck guys

Bombed a case interview 4 years to the month I did all my case interviews to get into MBB 😂😂 Out of practice or did I become a worse consultant vote on your phones

Thoughts on the importance of fit questions vs. case interview in second round of MBB?

What is the best case interview prep software/resource for MBB cases in your experience?

Anyone interested in case interview prep? I am about to leave Bain and have some time before my next gig so can officially do case interviews with people looking to break into MBB. PM me if interested!

Are paid case interview coaches worth it? For context, I practiced with peers out of undergrad and managed to land ATK / final rounds at all the T2s but didn’t get past round one for either BB. I recently had a final round case interview in industry where the feedback was that my structure was great but I stumbled on the math. Interviewing with MBB in 3 weeks and now questioning if I need more help?

I heard that the MBB interviews will be online. I am wondering how is it like having a virtual case interview? How are you gonna show the interviewers your note for instance? Any advice?

Failed MBB case interview so hard the guy started giving me casing tips mid interview. Practiced about 20 cases. Friend’s sister is a music major and got an offer with 0 case studying, said cases were just common sense and logic. When did you realise you just weren’t smart?

Is anyone that is at MBB currently willing to do a mock case interview with me? It would be greatly appreciated. (Feel free to DM)

Do you have to re-case interview to hop between teams internally at MBB? Ex: starting generalist at Bain, but then wanting to get into PEG after 1 year?

Any tips for MBB case interview via Webcam?

Is it ok to ask for an extra week for case interview with MBB due to personal reasons after it is already scheduled?

Interviewing with ex-MBB execs for a corporate strategy analyst role. I suspect they will gauge my problem-solving skills but a case interview is not expected. Thoughts on what to expect/how to tackle

Hi 🐠🐠. I have connections waiting to refer me, but the last time I interviewed for MBB, I was in undergrad. Case interview was tough on me. How did you guys best prepare the case interviews?

Anyone bomb a MBB case interview and make it to next round? I feel like I did well on one case, bombed the other (math mistake, interview had to guide me a bit).

Is it worth paying for case interview practice services? How common is this among people that make it in to MBB?

Does MBB provide feedback after first round case interview?

My current firm didn’t require a case interview. Would like to leave soon, but want to have my ducks in a row. How can I best prepare for Big 4 and MBB interviews? How did you all do it?
