Hi,

Case in point ? Case books ?
Anything ?

Any news article can be a basis.
Mck Montreal has a pdf application guide with a few cases online plus a few useful insight on what’s expected for a junior position.
If I remember well the first case is a profitability + cost optimization + cross sales + market entry + CEO pitch combined b case.
The document also showcase acceptable answers.

Here are 3 mini cases :
1- How do see changes in Customer Experience during covid crisis ?
2- A country’s general manager comes to see you with the following issue : the customer support is too expensive and online customers reviews are bad. The company is a ebusines firm that sell products online. There are 8 people at the customer care service. What your analysis and would you frame and solve the problem.
3- Your iPhone is dying, you need to change it. You have 120€ discount at your phone provider company for your unused insurance. You are restricted to the latest iphone generation. All storage capacity are eligible. Through your phone company it is possible to have a discount varying by capacity. Your current dying phone is an Iphone 8 Plus with 256GB, what do you pick to minimize costs and why ? Defend your choice on all applicable dimensions.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Is Manager in FIL same as AVP in HSBC or similar investment bank.

Recently ended a 3+ yr relationship (were both mid 20s and living together for just under 2 years) bc of him buying an engagement ring yet not proposing and waffling about our future. After 2 weeks I brought up that there’s a lot of good in us that maybe worth trying to work on (counseling etc). He wants space first and asked me to not wait for him as he sorts out his emotions and “tries to be happy again” (COVID depression and 100hr work weeks). Then he’ll decide if he wants to try again
