About to interview for a technology strategy senior consultant role at Deloitte but I have never done a case before. Any tips? Anything to read up on? Will the case be technical in nature or more generic? Thank you!

I prepared with a lot of YouTube videos. Regardless of topic, they can teach you how to break down the info to come up with a solution. This part of the interview is more about how you came to the solution rather than your actual solution. Would also suggest looking at what’s trending in your offering area, case will likely have something to do with those things.

My approach was fundamental YouTube videos understanding case studies (case interview cracked) > Case and point book (free PDF on Wall Street oasis) > management consulted YouTube

90% generic/10% technical. Only thing technical you need to know is how technology is related (e.g. system mapping, processes, etc.). The case studies for Accenture's CFO & EV and Deloittes F&EP case studies are helpful tools as well.

Best of luck!

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

Hi Fishes I am in a complex situation, please help me out..

I got an offer with TCS and initially selected joining date as Jan 2.. but current org released me in 1 month instead of 3 months.. I asked TCS HR and others for early Onboarding but they didn't respond well..

After that I got one offer and joined immediately. But now I don't like to work here as I have to go to office all 5 days mandatorily, also role is slightly new to me.

How can join in TCS on the selected date ?
Any possibility?
