I'm interviewing for Sr Product Design positions & each interview is 30 minutes to share 2 case studies. With only 12 min/case study (I eat up some time introducing myself & setting up the work), does anyone have advice on what to make sure I show? It's so hard to hit all the points they I'm trying to hit: problem definition through user research, wireframes, design exploration, usability tests, prototypes, final designs, red lines, engineering handoff, KPIs. Any advice or examples?
Checking I read that correctly. Please could you clarify the “for a male” part?
Seems like there aren’t many males from those companies that have got into PE/VC but relatively more females (source LinkedIn past company)
I believe the 2037 alumni party for OC&C is going to be spectacular, you should definitely factor that into your decision process.
It’s good to plan your career but also possible to overdo the forward planning
Pro
In descending order..
Wyman (brand)
LEK (heavy DD work)
OC&C (less known brand in US)
Kearney (less DD work)
Happy to have others challenge this
To challenge, Kearney London PE practice is big and growing. Plus the global head of PE is a partner in the London office
Deloitte
LEK get a higher % of T1 PE exits
OCC/OW mid market and both fairly equal - though OW are building out a private capital team so perhaps experience there will be more PE related
Cut Kearney off the list unless you want to go into a ops portfolio role
Kearney have a strong commercial dd practice but obviously do have a heritage on operations. We work with the biggest funds and have had leavers into deal team.
Don't write us off!

Do you have offers with the 4 of them?
Lol selective applications in strategy consulting. You must think you're very good
For VC it really doesn’t matter. All of them pretty much fall in the same bucket meaning you‘ll simply have to work harder to network and break in than your MBB counterparts.
How does VC comp compare to that of PE? Heard that you’d have equivalent bases (~80k) but with a much smaller bonus
Why does gender matter?
