Hi Majid, 

Congrats on passing the screening and best of luck ahead!

Generally, best practice would be to train across the spectrum of cases. There are no specific second-round  or first-round cases. The purpose of having two rounds is to confirm that the candidate is consistently performing well across interview with 4-6 people. So do the classic stuff (profitability, market sizing, etc.) and then try also some of the more unusual cases that won't fit in the standard frameworks. It helps to have a strategy to approach the application process and make sure you're prepared since you don't get that many chances. Feel free to reach out to me privately and I can send you an overview of what an application strategy / approach would look like. Let me know also if you have any other questions.

Hi Majid,

The short answer is: a diverse set of cases!

We can't predict what will happen. Therefore, you need to get broad exposure to a range of case types and industries!

Make sure to practice profitability, growth, market entry, M&A, pricing, competitive response, investment, and unexpected/unconventional ones.

Here are some to consider:

Hi!

I'd prepare with the whole variety of cases, focusing on market sizing, which are very common during first rounds.

Good luck,

Anto
