Yeah, I went through the Bain SEA process not long ago — happy to share what helped. The live case is pretty hypothesis-driven, so they expect you to take the lead early and toss out a starting hypothesis, even with limited info. Don’t overthink it — they’re not expecting you to be spot on from the jump, just structured and flexible. I usually said something like “Based on what we know, I’d guess X might be the issue — I’d want to dig into A and B to test that,” and adjusted as we went.
The written case is fast and dense. You get a bunch of exhibits and need to turn it into a clear, concise recommendation. It’s less about finding every insight and more about picking out the big themes, backing it with numbers, and communicating your take clearly. Practicing slide summaries and getting fast at reading charts helped a ton.
I prepped with High Bridge and they helped me get the hang of the hypothesis-first approach and written case pacing. Was super useful, especially coming from a non-Bain-style background. Good luck — the process is intense but fair if you stay calm and structured.
