LEK Consulting & Oliver Wyman folks: be honest, how difficult is the case interview going to be? I'm nervous about even applying because I haven't cased in years. And it's tough to find time/energy for that kind of prep right now.

I didn’t pass the LEK interview but didn’t think it was tough. I didn’t really study / know any structured approach. Math was easy and the case was generally easy.

My final rounds heavily indexed to LS (for Boston) so check out what the majority of partners in the office you’re interviewing for specialize in. Otherwise, really not that difficult - no one seemed to care much for all of the traditional “case interview” tropes that you have to practice by prepping - if you’re currently working in consulting or a similar industry, your everyday job should cover 80% of your prep. First round was one case, one market sizing question with some basic questions after, and second round was two longer cases and one additional market sizing. Limited behavioral overall. I prepped a lot but probably didn’t need to. Feel free to reach out if you have more q’s.

Assuming you’re referring to the final round “long” case. Personally, I found it to be not that bad. If you’ve put any work into case prepping then you should have the fundamentals needed for it down. The more important areas to be aware of are 1. Time management (you have an hour to prep so you need to be quick and understand the main points) and 2. Being able to cohesively present your findings and recommendations in a client friendly way.

Not that hard, passed both rounds with minimal studying

Passed OW, was not too difficult

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
