Interviewing at Strategy& for manager level (Deal Value Creation) - heard there will be M&A focused cases. Anyone ever been through this process and have any advice on prep?

I’m assuming you’re interviewing for Private Equity Value Creation and not Deals Strategy. If so, cases can range across industries and are usually focused on operations within a M&A situation. But cases are up to the interviewer (like all strategy cases) so I can’t nail it down for you.

I have my 3rd out of 4 interviews today for an internal transfer. This position wouldn’t be a promotion but rather a lateral move. 4 interviews? That’s more than an outside hire, the whole reason I’m being considered is my unique value I’ll be bringing to that department.

P.s my final interview is with my current manager who is NOT in charge of the new department… he also told me he didn’t think I was ready for the change when I initially told him I was making a move. Let’s see how it goes!
