Everything LEK will do with you will at some point involve a market sizing exercise

like

Strategy case
- very little to no math
- I got a pricing model strategy case
- My case: if a SaaS company should use a fixed price model or a tiered pricing structure and what markets they should be involved in

Quant Case
- use rocketblocks their quant cases are similar to that LEK will give you

Went through the process in Nov

Good luck!!! You got this

Business logic but yeah another strat case. Mine was much more free flowing

Had mine this past December and received offer last week. My quant case was purely market sizing. Literally no framework used, your “framework” was just how you were going to structure market sizing and then some follow up questions for more calculations. Strat was really simple, framework and really nothing different from one of those easy level cases from a case book. A lot of brainstorming but brainstorming is the easy part

This gives me hope for tomorrow. My case prep is a little rusty (also not sure how it's going to play out virtually) and only found out about the interview earlier today. Also congrats on the offer!
