Hey yes just completed my interview cycle at Platinion. The case can vary but basically a scenario such as a grocery store chain that is having issues with supply chain, over ordering/under ordering, distribution disruption etc how would you propose being more accurate and predictive in ordering supplies, what solutions would you put in place, how would you manage communications between suppliers and grocery stores etc. and then further drill down on each of your answers. The answers are really at the technology type level not even naming specific products (although you could if you want) i.e. saying you need an ERP, an analytics tool, a POS and such.

Hope this helps

Any advice on getting your foot in the door in the Big 4 companies or the like, ie: PwC, Deloitte, etc. I feel like I have the perfect experience for some of these posted roles but the online application process is a black hole. I’ve seen my resume ‘in review’ for 6+ months or more. Do people only get interviewed for these roles through networking?

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.

Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is. I usually say something along the lines of “a large client in X industry/vertical” because dropping the client name feels tacky? But at the same time, my main client is niche and knowing who is kind of vital to understand the work.

Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?
