Great to see that you are starting your case journey

  1. Watch videos about cases
  2. Write down all the standard frameworks
  3. Practice cases on your own
  4. Practice cases with peers
  5. Book at least one coaching session to increase your chances of getting an offer

Good luck, and have fun!

There are 1000 different ways to start and all are valid - though some are more efficient than others.

The key is to optimize the bit between starting and interviewing. If there's little time available and/or if you're unsure on how to set yourself up for success, I would advise to consult a professional coach.

Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of sessions with someone who truly knows what it takes to succeed and is able to benchmark your performance with an action plan to close any gaps. This can save you a lot of time, stress, and money.

Hi there,

Start here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/bootcamp.php

Then practice with others here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/case-interview-partner.php

Then hire a coach to get fully ramped up/supported (just be careful “shopping cheap” so to speak): https://www.preplounge.com/en/case-interview-experts.php

  1. Start practicing cases on your own and familiarize yourself with them. 
  2. Practice cases with peers.
  3. Book at least one coaching session to increase your chances to secure offers.

Don't spend too much time practicing on your own and once you have a good feeling about how to approach case interviews, practice with others. This way you will get feedback you can work on and simulate a real interview situation.

Hi there, 

agree with Pedro, start with the resources, check if you can practice with peer and if you want to pick up a coach to support you on the journey.
