I am new to MBB style case interviews and trying to prep for an interview with Bain soon (possibly with McK as well) . There are tons of books, articles, YouTube videos, etc. and I don't know where to start or which one is useful 🤯 can someone share their experience on how to plan interview prep for mbb?

Download a pdf of Case in point and read it. Then watch the Crafting Cases free course. Then get some case book PDFs and start practicing on preplounge or case coach or wherever with real people.

For me, crafting cases was the only one that helped me get really good. Like, no major areas of improvement good. The free course is worth way more than they sell it for (obv) and the others can be helpful too.

The other courses? Yes, only between the first and second round.

I didn't end up using most of what I learned from the market sizing course directly as I didn't get any of those questions.

However, there were some small tricks that were relevant and it helped me structure ideas logically and break them down.

I used case coach and thought that was helpful. I had never done a case before and was able to prepare sufficiently for my interview in 3 weeks.

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.
