Candidate led

like

...any. It depends...if you’re talking about interviewing, then nearly all cases were candidate led in my experience. Industry, level of math, etc. just depends on the interviewer. Unclear if that’s what you’re asking, though

like

McKinsey is interviewer led. BCG and Bain are candidate led. No idea what’s similar to S&

Thanks y’all, and S&1. That’s what I wanted to know. In your experience and based on what you know, are the cases often based on the industry of the team you’re interviewing for? (E.g., you get a case in O&G because you’re interviewing with the O&G team)

If they ask your interests before, expect it to be likely. If not, it’ll be based on their preference. Just be prepared for anything, and practice your math

Have you interviewed there before A1? Thank you for your input. Do they just do pure market sizing questions or is it more like mbb where it’s a smaller market sizing question baked into a traditional case?

You can find literally anything under the sun though they will try to give you a same industry case

I am struggling to fight off depression over my internal job search. There is no real opportunity for advancement in my immediate department/current job.
