I forgot how to do cases. I barely made it through my Big 4 case interview because I got lucky as hell and someone I knew was administering it. I've considered looking at another firm, but worried...

Funny because I didn't think I remember how to do a case after several years. But I was going through a case just now to prep for an interview and I went and gave it a try. I not only would pass with flying colours but also above my current level.

Don't be too harsh on yourself. Give it a try and you'll be amazed at how much you learned without realizing it. If not, practice and identify the gaps.

I got hired from intern and Booz is shitty so never did a case. I'm actively looking and a little worried too. But figure with years actual experience can't be so bad right?

That they'll expect a consultant to be able to do a basic case.

Honestly before consulting it was somewhat excusable not doing a case that well, but coming from a big 4 I feel like other firms just be like wtf?

BA1 what do you know about common exit opps?

Yes. You'll have to do a case and do it well. Consultants love giving cases, makes them feel smart

Additional Posts in Consulting

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
