More a comment than a question. It would be really helpful if Tabe 1 woudl contain the units. E.g. density in cars/1000 people, and consumption in kg/year.
Cheers, André

Hi Andre,
Forget about helpful! Think about two things: 1) Is that information relevant and 2) If it is, ask for it!
If it doesn't actually change your calculations, you shouldn't worry about it (rather, focus on the takeaway). If it does affect your analysis, then ask for it.
"Helpful" is not the priority of case interviewers ;)

Agreed, Andre. That's one of the first things they teach you about charts - make sure you remember to label with the units!
However, you can still to relative comparisons even without units.

Hi I work as a private equity / M&A lawyer in London considering a shift to MBB. My attraction stems from the more commercial / strategic thinking I believe consulting will give me and I can later leverage that to either pivot to (i) industry; or (ii) private equity. Thoughts?
