Hi Rory,
For the Deloitte management consulting interview, you can expect two main components:
1. Case Interview
This will test your structured problem-solving, numerical skills, and business intuition. It may be interviewer-led or conversational. Common case types include market entry, profitability, or operations-based questions.
How to prepare:
- Practice structuring your answers clearly (e.g., MECE frameworks).
- Get comfortable with mental math and interpreting charts quickly.
- Use free resources like CaseCoach, PrepLounge, or Victor Cheng.
- Run mock cases with friends or peers — practicing aloud makes a big difference.
2. Fit / Behavioral Questions
Deloitte places strong emphasis on collaboration, adaptability, and leadership. Expect questions like:
- "Tell me about a time you worked in a team with conflicting opinions."
- "Describe a time you had to solve a complex problem with limited information."
- "Why Deloitte? Why consulting?"
How to prepare:
- Use the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure responses.
- Prepare 3–4 strong stories that show leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience.
- Research Deloitte’s values and recent projects — be ready to explain why you’re a good cultural fit.
If you'd like to run a mock case or go through fit questions together, happy to help — just reach out!
Best,
Evelina
