Bain likes variwides. Otherwise felt very similar to ours.
If you ask it like that, my response will be some variation of “Why do you want sales info?”
Much better would be a more conversational version of “Reflecting on this framework for identifying why ClientCo is losing money, and the fact that you said costs are actually decreasing, my hypothesis is this must be a revenue issue. I expect sales numbers have declined recently and would like diagnose whether it’s an issue with volume, price, or mix. Do we have sales data broken out across their 3 main segments?” I now understand your thinking, see your structure, and know you’re headed in the right direction.

McKinsey is the most different of the 3. Interviewer led and PEI both feel quite strange.
Bain does more graphical cases where they present charts in response to your questions
Thanks for the tips! Could you give an example of a question that I might ask which would lead to a chart being presented? Like maybe - do we know anything about their recent sales numbers?
What would an example insight be that they be looking for you to spot in a chart?
