As the title suggests, I have my first case interview with Boston Consulting Group as a Knowledge Analyst CFO Excellence. I was wondering how I should prepare for it. This is my first case interview in consulting so I was wondering what I should do to study up? Since this is not a typical consulting role, there's not a lot of resources available so I was wondering what I should do. Thanks in advance!

Should be much easier than the typical case interview. I normally suggest folks to go through crafting cases, which should be more than enough.

Likely they will want to see your expertise in the subject matter

Please note that our KT team has much lower prestige than average, lower than Deloitte consulting.

Still smart, high-quality people. However, I wouldn’t join if it’s because you want the BCG prestige.

I will also add that KT folks are often treated as second class citizens here. Not deterring you from joining if the role is interesting, and yes it is wrong, but it is a fact.
