Cases for Analytics

Hi there!

I have applied for a specialist position (Analytics: Optimization & DataScience) for MBB. While there are lots of general helpful cases here on preplounge, I could not find any case coping Optimization or DataScience.

Does anyone have any good resources for these kind of cases or even have any cases?

Thank you all in advance!

Hi there,

It's rare that I don't have material for a request! While I'm wary of saying something “doesn't exist”, I have yet to see a case that is well tailored for DataScience positions…at least on case prep sites.

For an analytics role, you will have a technical interview (which may include a practical exercise) or online assessment.

You will have case interviews as well, and they follow the usual format, but are usually shorter and have a stronger focus on quantitative / estimation aspects and statistics.

So instead of looking for “analytics” cases you should look for cases that are quantitative-heavy.

Hi!

I do not have something ready to show you for “Analytics cases”.

Reach out to current consultants in those positions or see what other companies in similar roles require to get a better idea of this.

Hope this helps.

Best,
