What are your experiences regarding the case interviews at google vs. mgmt consulting? (Differences in style and difficulty, tips, etc.?)

The google one is fairly easy. GCA was 2 cases and RRK had 1 mini case. It isn’t a case study like consulting but a hypothetical question such as what would you do if your manager asks you to come up a plan to assess pricing of “xyz” product. As long as you know the basics of the product, can frame the problem and walk them through your structure, you should be good.

Also, you have to make assumptions as you solve the problem, you won’t be given any data . All in all, very straightforward for someone coming from consulting. I won’t sweat about it

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
