Anyone willing to share their experience interviewing at Strategy&? Best ways to prep for interview with Financial Services group?

That’s my group. Here’s my two cents:

There will be strategy cases that may or may not be FS related. The interviewer will want to know you can structure problems and handle a bit of math.

If you’re more senior it will be less case-intensive and more about how you might approach an engagement or issue with a team / client.

To the extent you have FS experience be prepared to speak fluently about your experiences and thoughts on industry trends / thought leadership. If you say you know something we’ll test it, so only put emphasis on those things you can really speak to.

Have an answer to: “Why Strategy&”

Good luck!

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.
