Hi Prep Lounge people, 

I am looking for a robust and updated case library for interviewer-led cases.  I have struggled with this as interviewer-led cases are entirely different from regular ones. Let me know if you have any suggestions! 

Cheers!

Hi Tatiana,

Feel free to shoot me a message!

I have hundreds of cases I'd be happy to share with you.

Alternatively, try google! There are so many free cases out there.

Finally, partner with others! There's not much use to reading dozens of cases. You need to do the cases live with someone else…the nice thing about this is once you get paired with someone, they'll have an interviewer-led case for you already!

Hi Tatiana,

Good question!

There are no real public McKinsey / interviewer-led cases out there. Most cases that claim that they are in the right format are not.

However, you can turn every candidate-led case into an interviewer-led case by reading the question, answering it, then reading the next question, and so on and so forth. Not perfect, but the best you can do.

Reach out for 3 reasons:

  1. I have a couple of real and authentic interviewer-led cases to share
  2. I have 100s of other cases that can be turned into interviewer-led cases using the method described above
  3. We can run an interviewer-led session on that as well. I have specialized in this type of case interview with considerable candidate success over the last 18 months

Alternatively, have a look at how to work on interviewer-led cases here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/mckinsey-interview

All the best,

Florian

Hello!

I disagree with the fact that those two type of cases are very different, and I think it makes so many people loose focus on what really matters. 

I am happy you ask this, since I have seen quite some posts in the Q&A lately regarding this topic, and I have quite a strong opinion. 

I have seen so many candidates in the past putting such focus on trying to conduct a case in an interviewer vs. interviewee lead way (or vice-versa) in the past, that they get their eyes off the ball and what really matters here. 

Think it this way, because it´s really this simple: you will be confronted with a business problem and someone with quite an experience in solving those would evaluate the way you think, structure and problem-solve. Hence, just focus on that: an impressive solution and process. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
