Any tips for Strategy& case interviews (London office)? What type of cases should I expect? Heard there’s a lot of market sizing.

I went through S& process for London deals team earlier this year - the cases are super structured, they give you like 10 slides of data and info and three questions. You have about 10 mins to work through it and then talk your interviewer through your answers. First question is market sizing and then the next two are strategic. The market sizing part usually has one element that makes it not completely straightforward - i.e you need to connect two data sources or do a weighted average or something.

By the way main tip I would give is quickly isolate the info needed for market sizing and do that as quick as possible, then make sure you have enough time to give the strategic questions some proper thought. Try and make sure in the walk through 1) you show you've thought through realistic and commercial implications 2) show you can be a good thought partner - e.g. take their comments and build on them

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
