Hi all,
May I know how common it is for Bain to give a market sizing question as the entire case please? By entire case, I mean we spend the entire 30-40 minutes working on the same market sizing question, going deep into the drivers and assumptions?
Thank you! :D

Hello!
Highly uncommon.
Market sizings are included in an overall exercise -most times-.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara

It's not super common, but it does happen. So you should know how to solve them. However, when it does, Market Size cases are probably more like 25-30 mintes, rather than 30-40 minutes.

Hi there,
It depends on the office. Generally it is uncommon, but it is quite common in Italy in final rounds for example.
Best,
Francesco
