What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.
Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.
Say thanks and politely decline the “opportunity” to interview
There’s a world of opportunity to join consulting right now. If you have options, why would you ever join a sweatshop that churns out market reports 70% of the time
Run. But actually the quant case will likely be a typical market sizing and strategy will be more conversational but still a case. Don’t forget there’s a few minutes of behavioral questions at the start
In my experience the cases are pretty straightforward and relatively easier than some other ones I did. No crazy math on the quant (just + - x /) and focus on upfront framework for the strategy; they’ll help you out if you get stuck
