What would be the best approach to get case interview ready in 10 days? I’ve been in strategy consulting for 3 years but have never done a case interview. Thanks for your help!

My vote is for Taylor Warfield’s books plus casewithai. Then case live with someone, plenty of ways to do that

How did you get to EY-P without a case interview?

I guess you’re trying to move to EM/PL at MBB.

There’s really no such a thing as being ready. You either have the background and experience to showcase a suitable approach to solve the case or you don’t. Then, if you do showcase it, it comes down to the candidates intangibles like school, prior employer (potential client, direct competitor, etc.), niche domain knowledge, etc.

To get into MBB is a lot of historical accomplishments more than how one performs on the case.

I would argue that the case interview is just a layer to excuse the candidates that don’t have all the intangibles they are looking for. When I was a McK I worked with some who are complete idiots who couldn’t talk past the things they memorized in text books and for the life of them couldn’t contribute to problem solving and regulated themselves to document and comms management.

All that to say that I’m sure with 3 YOE you will do well on the case interview. Check to see if you have the intangibles though based on the role you’re applying for.

Chatgpt.. ask it to play the interviewer role and promt to ask what case study you need to practice. Also drop a sample case study for it to understand better.

I just did that and got an offer. But all practice and no experience would not make a dent in that interview. You need to have experience to support the questions that will be thrown at you.

Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance?
