My situation: Completed 22 practice cases, working on structuring and numeracy.
Key questions:
- Regional cases: I have heard that ME offices focus on public sector/energy/healthcare, while India offices emphasize market entry/growth cases. However, a recent McKinsey ME candidate got an AI case. What case variety should I expect across both regions?
Resource confusion: I am seeing major differences between casebooks:
- Premium ones (Darden/Kellogg) have detailed exhibits and data
- Indian resources (SRCC/IIM) are just one-liner questions without charts
- Each presents cases completely differently
Which approach best reflects actual MBB interviews in ME/India?
- Focus strategy: Should I prioritize regional sector cases or maintain broad case type preparation for both markets?
I am feeling stuck choosing the right resources because I am doing cases from all casebooks and would value your perspective on what actually matters for success in these offices.
Thanks for any guidance you can share!
