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

Can anyone give me honest feedback on what being a copywriter is like at FCB Health NY? I have an interview but looking on here all I see is *really* negative feedback, so I’m very apprehensive. Glassdoor has a lot of bad reviews too. I’m currently at a smaller agency and I like it, but getting the itch to move up in salary & have more opportunities to produce good work. Tempted by FCB for those reasons, but value work/life balance.

Sharing my experience with Deloitte USI interview and offer negotiation. I gave Deloitte interview 2 months ago. After managerial round I did multiple follow ups and Deloitte didn’t bother to reply.

I have 23.5 in hand so I asked for 26 which she said out of budget. Then I asked 23.5 fixed atleast. Contd… in comments

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
