Does Strategy& UAE ask during 3rd rounds for case presentation?

Question

Hello!

Honestly, I would be surprised, since usually you get a written case only once per process. 

However, this is the typical question that HR should help you with. 

For written cases: remember that the skillset tested is the same than in the "usual" cases, hence, all the practice you may have done totally plays in your favor. 

One important point to add is the need to be very 80-20, structured and to the point, since the prep time is very short, so we need discipline with the analysis to have enaugh time to prep the communication strategy. 

There are many many entries in thsi same Q&A regarding written cases, hence, I would recommend you to look with the keywords "written case"

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hi there,

The best way to be sure is to follow-up with HR to confirm what to expect for the format.

I've seen 3rd round interviews go either way (from a "casual" chat/fit with a Partner, to a full 2-interview fit+case).

General rule is to be prepared for anything and you won't be disappointed/caught off gaurd :)

Hi, I've coached >15 candidates for S& MENA across Associate to Principal.

Generally yes for most positions (excl Principal) a case is also the final stage of the process (but also part of the 2nd round)
