Hi OP - I just got an offer and had to do the first round of case on the phone. It was a general McKinsey case. Nothing different from how you would solve a normal case. Key is:
1. Listen to the interviewer's actual question, clarify if needed
2. Talk out loud through your math problem
3. Give opinions/insights about findings through data or other reasons. Makes them understand that you are actually thinking about the problem not just interviewing

Good luck!!

Thank you!! Congrats on the offer!

If it’s your first phone call with the recruiter it is usually just a basic screening to make sure your YOE match the role they’re hiring for and that you initially seem like a good fit.

had that last week. Recruiter said first round is a 30 min case which I have scheduled for later this week. Trying to figure out what to expect since that’s a pretty tight timeline for a case

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
