Its honestly ridiculous especially when you think that you basically work in a case style approach every day. Try to simplify your thinking before you go to the interviews. After some time of working in strategy consulting you start thinking about too many aspects of a case. I at least got as feedback that I tend to overcomplicate cases (not a dealbreaker but still)
EYP1 I agree with you. It’s soooo dumb and had a similar experience. Sent you a DM
Chief
Everyone cases to a degree. At higher levels it’s worse, you have to be able to prove you can/will sell work
If I apply for a principal role and say I have 10 yoe, maybe I can get in without having to do a case?
It kinda stops at partner but you are cased until then (@MBB now)
It’s not like it’s a full case but people want to understand if you can chin the bar
Wow. So P1 you think only BCG does cases? So confused. You are very wrong if you think EYP and S& don’t lead the same exact kinds of cases you do.
Being good at case interviews doesn’t mean you are a good consultant. I am really bad at case interviews… actually never cleared any case interview! But in my 8yrs as a consultant I have always gotten tier 1 or 2 ratings.
Seems ridiculous if you’re a top SM performer at EYP and you fail a BCG case interview….something wrong with the process
How does BCG know you are a top performer
Casing is the job. If you can’t think, we don’t want you. Just suck it up buttercup, no offense:)
And you think thats not the case at S& or EYP???
