Why do you need to feel the need to hijack this thread with your own smug elitism? You’re doing a disservice to not just OP, but to your firm - does a good firm really need to put down other firms to remain on top?

Anyways, OP - which practice are you interviewing for? I would generally say that most of the generic advice applies (be articulate, structured, and easy to follow). It’s interviewee led most of the time, so feel free to try to work with your interviewer to generate ideas and pay attention (they’ll usually indicate which route to go pretty subtly when you bring it up).

Hi fishies. I have a ton of interviews coming up soon including a case interview at EY within their Innovation and Experience Design practice for Digital Strategy Manager.

I was hoping it would be based on CX or design but my understanding is there is some revenue component idk. Anyone have any insight? I would greatly greatly appreciate it!
