Hello EY 🐠 🐠: I am interviewing for an TD&E role soon and I was informed that there will be a case study. My question is, will the case study be portfolio/program/project centered? I can’t imagine it being a traditional case study à la MBB. I did a search and could not find the answer. TIA EY

Honestly you really need to consider if this is the right area for you. The case study is simple. If you can think you will pass as the answer is not as important as your thought process.

But the TDE practice is just the pits. Everyone is unhappy. The PPMDs more the vast majority of the time are horrible. And people are leaving in droves.

They will work you like a slave and tell you to support them (PPMDs) over client billable work or you won’t be considered for promotion but then during review time they will forget they said that and penalize you.

So good luck.

Yes, it is typically a PPM kind of case study

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the information you are sharing. Nothing beats insider information.

@EY2 - thanks for reposting. I didn’t find this when I made my search, but I will be reading this very carefully. Thanks again.

What is TD&E?

How was your case study and how did you prepare for it? Was it more PMO centered and digital transformation?

I turned down the job after meeting the team. I was disturbed that the practice was split into east and west; that told me that the teams aren’t playing nice with each other and there will be big problems down the road.

The case had nothing to do with PMO. Instead I was shown data on a slide and asked to analyze it. I was really annoyed.

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
