Can anyone who has successfully gone through Strategy& PEVC Sr. Associate interviews provide some insight to what I should study and look out for?

Prepare for it the way you would prepare for any other case interview

I've read through the job description obviously, looking for examples of the questions/cases that I should expect. Coffee/drinks on me if someone has any time to spare :)

Cases are typically at the intersection of M&A and Operations. Expect cases on supply chain strategy, manufacturing, product portfolio rationalization, synergies etc.

Thank you

It’s easy. Ops stuff. Would skip S& PEVC though. Banking hours at half the pay

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Looking for some advice; I've been a paralegal for about 5 years now, and the past year or so has been hard. One firm closed, which dropped me in another firm which was never good for me, and then into another with a culture that was really unhealthy to me. My resume shows a few short stays at firms, and now I'm looking at moving after six months due to issues that turned over the entire paralegal team so far except for me. How do I show employers I'm a dedicated worker after a difficult year?
