This might be a naive question - when they say lead a case with a hypothesis, what does it mean in cases such as market entry or acquisition? I can understand how it'll work in revenue or profit decline or cost increase, but struggle to understand it in cases where there's no root cause analysis. Could someone please explain?

Basically asking the question: is this a good acquisition? (Y/n). Starting with hypothesis that it’s good or not and refine along the way

Then, to answer this, I would need x, y, z

To answer x, I need a, b, c
To answer y, I need d,e, …

You get the drill.

Starting with a hypothesis is kind of annoying I think. Youre not being objective if you do that.

Where it adds value is if you're in I'd look at x and this is why

Ex.
I need to see if we are losing market share and I think it may be because of our prices or because of our loss in perceived quality. If it's because of our price we need to do x, if it's because of a quality issue we need to assess y and z.

This way you're showing how your hypothesis plays in vs upfront saying yeah I think this is a good investment with little to no knowledge.

Hello all! I was reached out by Publicis Sapient for their Technology Strategy Consulting team and by Capco. Does anyone know what's the work life balance/pay at both of these firms? I am currently at EY under tech consulting making 90K a year in NYC with 1.5 YOE Staff 2 but I do feel I am feeling a bit burnt out at EY. I was wondering if I should wait until I hit Senior then start recruiting with the Senior title or just start recruiting now. Thanks!
