What will the project dynamics be on a project staffed with 3mdps, a PL, and myself, a summer UG intern? Just got staffed and will be hearing more on Monday from the team, but it came across as an interesting staffing composition.
Have the feeling I'll be making quite a few slides as the only junior. Anyone staffed on a similar case composition?
Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.

My biggest piece of advice would be to start learning casing from a framework approach (Case in Point, etc. ) to understand what sort of things you should be considering but move away from it before it gets too engrained. Frameworks can be a good starting point but it is rare that a framework matches a case perfectly and you will almost always have to build your own framework or adapt one to work. If you don’t you will either miss pieces or come off a bit robotic
Thanks Mc1!
Try Crafting Cases, they have a free course and search for casebooks of business schools online, Ross, Wharton, Duke. Also look for consulting clubs on Facebook to find people to practice with. Good luck!
Thanks A1!
I recommend using two sources, so you can fill the gaps between them. The authors I found most useful were Victor Cheng and David Ohrvall. They periodically come out with new materials, so their flagship product changes, but I found their quality and delivery solid.
Thanks C1!
Hello! I am looking for a case interview prep buddy! I want to get some real life practice done. Recently interview for BCG. Have another interview in a weeks time. PM me if interested.
Hey OP! I'm also starting case prep soon. Let me know if you'd like to work together in compiling a google drive of case resources (notes/thoughts from books like case in point, practiced case studies, etc.) and/or in practicing cases together.
C2 sent you a dm!
