Anyone here who felt like they screwed up during the case interview at MBB’s/tier two and still ended up getting the job? 😬 I’ve got 10 days for my first interview and I’m nowhere close to feeling as confident as I should be with casing🙈

completely babbled my way through my S& case interview and thought I failed harder than anyone else had failed in the history of PwC…… got the phone call from MD with a job offer 2 weeks later. Must be an employees market.

Or maybe your just someone who is overly hard and critical on yourself ? 😂

But thanks ! That gives me a little hope 🤪

Like IU1 said, it is a worker's market right now. Accenture hired 100k+ in the past 2 quarters alone (although perhaps not all consultants).

From talking with my friends in consulting this is confirmed, firms are hiring a lot!

You’re a Georgetown God. You got it king👑

I thought I was borderline (50/50) in my McK interview. I ended up getting through and getting an offer

Just remember to practice mental math - I ducked mine up & ended up getting rejected this past month (big ooof on my end). Even if your framework isn’t perfect, the basics are critical!!

IU1 - haha thank you 🙏🏻

McK rising ⭐️ - interesting. You must have aced ur PEI.

Associate 1 - good with math. Just not confident about driving the case. Thanks il keep that in mind

Who knows, but I will take it!

I did two interviews back to back (many years ago) at BCG, and felt like I didn't do the second one well, after that the interviewer told me 'this is not how we would do it at BCG'.
I cried of frustration taking the subway home. To my surprise they called me back for other interviews, and eventually I got the job!

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?
