CaseCoach - CaseMath

Hi there,

I'm not familiar with CaseCoach Maths materials, but given they have been designed by former MBB, I'd expect the difficulty level to be somewhat calibrated.

Besides that, a good indication of real case difficulty, in my experience, is what you typically find in MBA case books.

Feel free to reach out for access to above resources. 

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi

Hi there, 

I've had a few candidates who used materials from there and generally they had no complaints. 

I would suggest that you settle on one channel / source in general with your prep, rather than trying everything at the same time. 

It helps avoid confusion and keeps you more focused on one area. 

If you're looking for a few cases to practice also on PrepLounge, check the ones below that are based on real MBB interviews:

Hi there,

Honestly, I much prefer the math practice on Rocketblocks. In addition, make sure you practice case math extensivlely live with your peers (i.e. in mock case interviews).

Hello!

Precisely for the high amount of questions (1) asked by my coachees and students and (2) present in this Q&A, I created the “Economic and Financial concepts for MBB interviews”, recently published in PrepLounge’s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/prep-guide/economic_and_financial_concepts_for_mbb_interviews).

After +5 years of candidate coaching and university teaching, and after having seen hundreds of cases, I realized that the economic-related knowledge needed to master case interviews is not much, and not complex. However, you need to know where to focus! Hence, I created the guide that I wish I could have had, summarizing the most important economic and financial concepts needed to solve consulting cases, combining key concepts theorical reviews and a hands-on methodology with examples and ad-hoc practice cases.

It focuses on 4 core topics, divided in chapters (each of them ranked in scale of importance, to help you maximize your time in short preparations):

·        Economic concepts: Profitability equation, Break even, Valuation methods (economic, market and asset), Payback period, NPV and IRR, + 3 practice cases to put it all together in a practical way.

·        Financial concepts: Balance sheet, Income statement/P&L and Performance ratios (based on sales and based on investment), +1 practice case

·        Market structure & pricing: Market types, Perfect competition markets (demand and supply), Willingness to pay, Pricing approaches, Market segmentation and Price elasticity of demand, +1 practice case

·        Marketing and Customer Acquisition: Sales funnel, Key marketing metrics (CAC and CLV) and Churn, +1 practice case

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes for the guide, and I hope it helps you rock your interviews!
