Crafting cases

I wouldn't bother at all with Case in Point and Victor Cheng. Case in point is a good book for introducing it, but the way it presents in how to solve a case will actually make you fail the interview. Start applying generic frameworks with generic questions and it will be a big no no.

Victor Cheng is quite simple IMHO tbh. Will only help in business cases per se, and even then there is almost no creativity.

Trust me, watch the free course at crafting cases, will help you so much. Got an offer at BCG and going for the final round at OW and Bain right now, mostly due to them.

I got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

looking for some advice! I’m coming up on my 1 year at the company I work for. I am a General Manager of a mid-sized lodge, I manage about 12-15 employees and have no assistant manager.
