Is anyone willing to work on cases together? I’m at EY and am wanting to apply to MBB, but not before getting 50+ cases under my belt

First apply.

Any rationale behind this? I could be convinced, but am skeptical of this approach and its risk at first thought

Join the case prep discord groups. Always people looking for case partners there. But you may have to dig around to get someone good

Agree. Apply. It took months before I randomly got my interview.

Did you get any context on why the time between applying and your first call? It can’t be processing time, so wondering if it was a result of applicant pool, economic conditions/internal pipeline, etc.

Don’t listen to these people. Start prepping now

like

As others have said, apply first. And keep in mind there is such a thing as over-casing, where it’s obvious the candidate has just rote learned a bunch of cases and frameworks

like

Apply first. Or it’s all for nothing.

Maybe not, and that’s fine. I do tend to think MBB projects would be more fun and challenging, I would be surrounded by people who could better challenge me, I could learn more, etc. This isn’t to say MBB would be better at every turn, but at least in the margins, or am I wrong?

Apply first - you’re not guaranteed an interview, especially in this economy. Why sink 50+ hours into casing if it’s not a sure thing

Appreciate the feedback, but I’m bored. 50 hours working on cases seems like a much better time spent than 50 hours on YouTube
