Bain & Company Can someone recommend a good starting point on how to go around solving case interviews? What frameworks should I follow? I am kinda new to case interview and want to develop skills to solve them. Any books, online sources would be really appreciable.

Isn't this kind of the dream? You get the chance to try it out before actually specializing
Just another perspective: having broader exposure at ZS may trigger additional interest areas and allow you to GTM more effectively (due to your internal network and broader knowledge of ZS's capabilities)
Confirming this is true. You definitely would be able to try out other projects and then move into P&LS. It wouldn’t surprise me if you could even move into P&LS in less than a year. I agree with the above comment that this actually a better situation to be in
That’s great to hear!! Coming from big4, hearing “you’ll have the opportunity to move into/specialize/etc” always makes me nervous since a lot of the time it’s bs/very hard.
Thanks!!!
LOL as i had the exact opposite happen to me. Applied for generalists but interviewed for P&LS. The space is growing a ton and you’ll be able to work on those types of projects regardless of being in the space. After a year officially move into it.
Second ZS2’s point - they’ll be more than willing to meet with you and discuss your interests - also since it’s growing so fast they’ll naturally need people like you to staff
yeah I think generalist is better, you can mess around for a bit. Even if you know it's exactly what you want, doesn't hurt to build your network outside the space as well.
But OP, MAKE SURE you're proactive in staffing. since you're a generalist you can get pulled into anything since we're short on staffing to begin with. ZS is not very siloed since we're smaller than Big 4 so lines between BC/BO/BT blur sometimes. You could end up on like tech or heavy analytics as an SIP so if that's not what you want to do, then you need to find the right PAMs that will pull you into the projects you want. Be careful not to push anyone's buttons though.
Step lower is the red flag make sure pay is not a step lower. Negotiate.
Oh no, the position for that team was a step Lower which is why they’re bringing me on as a generalist. So I’m still at the right level with a reeeeaaal handsome bump from what I was at D
Thanks and Cheers Everyone! Here’s to making moves and taking control over your career!
Time for a celebratory mimosa
Definitely try out P&LS. Their projects and work hours can be brutal relative to the rest of the firm. DD and other strat projects are the ones that break people and cause them to leave.
Congrats OP. And welcome to ZS!
Thank you! Very excited to work with everyone and drive my career in the LS space!
