Bain & Company Anyone willing to share/have a chat about the case study preparation and interview process at Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Kearney? I’m just stuck on where to even start for the cases (I’m reading “Case in Point” for now). My idea is for Milan but I’m very open to other offices!

DM me. I’m a case prep coach that specializes in McKinsey. I was in your shoes.

funny

Generally, the best prep is with other people. It’s good to have an understanding of the basics (with CIP can provide), but it’s the kind of thing where nothing replaces practice.
Find partners, in-person or online (eg CaseCoach, PrepLounge), and get practicing.
Find the general frameworks used for the easily identifiable types of cases, but complement that by reading up on business news to be able to tailor more specific frameworks where useful.
Best of luck!

You got an interview coming up?

McKinsey is not doing live prep for candidates anymore. Candidates will now have access to a website with our prep materials.

Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at
Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview
