Bain & Company I recently got feedback on an MBB interview that basically said while I was a good candidate, the interviewer would have appreciated if I was a little bit more analytical in my approach.

I haven’t been able to get additional information on what exactly they meant but would appreciate if anyone can offer their thoughts on what this means and how to do just that during a case interview.

What does this mean?

Not analytical enough (to me) means you’re talking about plausible scenarios and buzzwords but you’re not grounding your insights in the case data or business knowledge. This is typically due to a lack of practice casing. How many cases did you do for prep?

I don’t agree with C1 - but they could be right. I don’t have enough info.

No one is going to know exactly what you did wrong. You’re just going to have to let it go, but you should have some idea of where you could have been better. Typically someone who is good enough to meet the bar but has a bad day knows exactly what went wrong. If you don’t know where you went wrong you might be worse at casing than you think.

This 👆🏻. Usually means your structure was not good enough (MECE, 3 layers min etc) and not backed by examples (“evidence”) that show you understand the solution, not just recite Case in Point

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

McKinsey & Company Hi everyone. Hope all is well.

Recently took the McKinsey & Company game (not sure if I have an interview yet but preparing nonetheless). It’s an entry level business analyst position and an entry level digital position and was wondering if anyone wanted to case prep with me. I’m willing to work on anyones time zone. (I’m located in Sydney, Australia).

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete.

Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?
