Hey Akanksha,

I already replied in private, but a few more thoughts here:

1. Investopedia is a good resource
2. Google is your friend (for keywords)
3. You should create your own industry deep-dives (and fill them in)
4. Repetition is key. Sure, you don't understand those articles now, but how do we get good at anything? You need to keep pushing
5. Hire a coach. I personally run 10-15 min industry deep-dive segments during my coaching. If you want to learn about an industry I can “upload” it to you in that time!

Hi Akanksha,
these sites are providing general information about what a firm is doing. It won´t be helpful for your case interview.

Try to start 1st with cases from preplounge. You need to understand the structure of how a case is built. If you solve a number of cases, you will get a better feeling and then also understand articles better.

cheers, Ajmal

Hello,

Don't worry too much about not understanding everything in those articles - they contain much more industry knowledge and jargon than you would ever be expected to know in a case interview. You would also never be penalized for asking the interviewer to clarify a term or a concept that is unfamiliar to you, because you are assessed on your casing, not your industry knowledge - I always encourage candidates to ask if something seems confusing.

If you are reading things like Finimize, I would say you are doing the right thing to have the adequate level of business knowledge. Other resources I sometimes recommend for candidates are Axios Macro and Axios Markets newsletters, The Best One Yet podcast (formerly MarketSnacks), and the good old Economist/Financial Times/Wall Street Journal. 

Regarding the link you posted, I'd say there's no way of understanding it quickly other than looking up anything that is confusing and talking to people already in the practice about what their work actually involves. Read more, google things, and ask around, essentially (which it seems like you are doing already).

But as far as business understanding for the case interview is concerned, if you can follow the terms and jargon in standard cases, you should be good. You may encounter a case that deals with newer technologies, but the level of jargon shouldn't be any more complicated than for standard cases, if that makes sense.
