Hi there, 

Yes, you can try some of the cases I wrote on PrepLounge. 

They are based on real MBB interviews conducted in the past months - so it's a fresh glimpse into what you can realistically expect.

Here are a few:

Hi,

in general I would advise you in the later stage of your preparation to work on creating your own framework from scratches to answer such questions and especially to structure brainstorm-oriented question that can corner you into giving “laundry list” answer that do not score points for you.

We can chat by DM but this is entirely doable with a coach and some specific resources

hope this helps

Hi there,

Here are my recommendations:

1. Most MBA casebooks (Stern, Darden, etc.)
2. Your peers (ask them to give you unconventional cases)
3. BCG Insights
4. McK Insights
5. Robinhood Snacks
6. My course
7. Most of my cases…some examples here:

One thing you can try is to actually approach what you call “traditional cases” without those “basic buckets”, as no one is supposed to solve cases using the basic buckets.

Moreover, most “traditional cases” will have what we usually call “brainstorming questions”. While half of the “brainstorming questions” may be about creating a list of options, in many other cases they are exactly what you are looking for: an opportunity to think about a framework from scratch.

Hi there, 

feel free to reach out via DM - can share some relevant resources.
