Can Slalom Consulting 🐠 provide insight on the S&O interview process? I was advised it would consist of: 1. 1v1 with S&O member 2. Case interview 3. Interview with 1-2 leaders (potential mini cases). How is the process in general? Are the cases difficult?

That seems about right. The cases tend to be focused more on how you would approach a problem than on building a deliverable in real time. Expect to have to create a mid-level plan, define the deliverables, and talk through how you would gather information, and convert that into insights. New York has a good team, so the process should be pretty enjoyable - see it as a chance to get to know them as much as them interviewing you.

The quick answer is yes - significant strategy projects - we compete with the big four and similar shops all the time. Figure out what you mean by "strategy", and this would be a good discussion during the interview process.

What market?

NYC

I work in S&O and can confirm this is mostly true. I’m not in NYC, but I am in the northeast. In general, try to be very conversational but polished.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
