Does anyone have advice for an Oliver Wyman case interview? At D, our cases were a lot more implementation based vs pure strategy ones. I really really want this opportunity and am freaking out a bit.

First round case was very a very typical consulting case (similar to the ones you find in casebooks)

Eg: client interested to start a new business.

Second round case is dependent on how your first went. If they felt you were lacking in that area then they will test you on it in 2nd round (eg: I wasn’t good at qual in round 1 but perfect at quant, so i got a completely creative/ qual case in round 2)

Thank you so much for this. This is super helpful

I'm pretty sure Oliver Wyman provides a bit of in-house prep material. ...yep, just found it. Have you already used the Aqualine prep case? https://www.oliverwyman.com/careers/apply/case-studies/aqualine.html

Yup, did them both. Thanks!

I finished interviews with OW last month. They were implementation heavy tbh. If you haven't had your interview, I can give you one of the cases that I got.

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Everything seemed to be going so well until now.
