Have a buddy interviewing with Oliver Wyman for an entry level, right out of undergrad position. Any tips on R1 interview aside from general case prep/interview tips? Don’t know if there’s anything particular about OWs interviews

I’m a partner that helps run much of OW recruiting in the Americas. My main comment is that while some prep is useful, we value evidence of original thinking and honest enthusiasm more than signals that you have a well-practiced script of your accomplishments and can use the same old case frameworks (“assume US population of 300 million, bucket them by…” is rarely the best approach.). At entry level, we are looking for awesome people that can learn very quickly in teams, not for people who already know how to do X.

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
