I have 3 months gap before I start my role at a management consulting firm. Could you please provide some advice on how to use my time wisely and enhance core skill set, so that I can “survive” the probation period? I've read previous threads and specifically I have the two questions below:
(1) Should I continue “casing”? I feel that practicing case interviews enables me to train the consulting skillsets, but not sure whether it's necessary to continue casing to keep the momentum? Or, should I focus on specific areas, such as market sizing?
(2) Financial modeling: I've seen s few experts recommending to enhance financial modeling skill. Should I enhance general excel modeling skill, or is financial modeling a “must” in consulting firm?
Thanks a lot!
