Is this a case that also occurs 1 to 1 at Whiteshield?

Hi there!

Yes, this can be used as a prompt for both a live 1-on-1 case as well as a written case. 

If you're looking into practising other cases as well, sharing below a couple of the ones I wrote as well. They are based on real MBB interviews and contain full interviewer notes:

Hi there,

Seconding the other coaches.

Worry less about the exact case itself and rather on the learning from having solved it.

Every case you see in the future will be a totally new and “unexpected” case!

Hi there,

Not that exact case but the style and format.

Cases that are made public by any firm are used for training purposes and potentially were real interview cases in the past but for obvious reasons are not any more!

All the best,
