Hi there,
I would recommend to share your target office as cases may change according to that.
If you need help please feel free to PM me, I know 60+ real case questions asked at Strategy& recently.

Hi there,
Complementary to what other coaches said, I would like to add the following aspects:
In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for the upcoming S& interviews, please feel free to contact me directly. I have helped several of my coachees land a position at Strategy& and thus know very well the process across regions.
I hope this helps,

Thank you!!!
Hi there,
Unless you are applying to a specific practice/specialization, you should expect much the same types of cases as BCG and Bain (candidate-led).
Make sure you practice a wide range of cases and stay adaptable/agile.
Last point: Make sure you're very familiarized in the functions + industries of the office to which you're applying. There is a higher likelihood of cases being in the topics/areas of your office country/region.
Thank you!!!
Hello,
Ian said it best - I would see if the office you are interviewing for specializes in any particular industries, and just prepare a wide variety of cases otherwise.
Hi!
There are no significant differences in terms of specific cases to prepare. The usual typologies will be good enough (i.e. market sizing, profitability, etc.).
Hope this helps.

Hello there!
Hey Cristian!!
Hi! It appears there was an issue with the connection and only part of my message got through. What I had written is that from the people I know at Strategy&, the cases they use are not that different from others from Big4 or MBB. In the end, as long as you master the main case study types (profitability, market entry, etc.) and have enough practice and skill to handle them, you should be fine regardless of the context. The only difference might be in the level of difficulty between firms (e.g., between MBB and Big4) but many claim even that is a myth. Even from my own experience when I was applying, I got a more difficult case at Roland Berger than at McKinsey. So the point is, keep on practicing, get the support you need and get ready. There are no specific cases for specific firms. Hope this helps :)
Thank you so much!! Appreciate your help! Will do that :)

Hi,
I have gone through the Strategy& interview process and am aware of the main industries of focus for the EMEA offices, feel free to DM in case you want to share more details on your process.
This level of knowledge may probably not be a difference maker in the case interview as their approach is similar to MBB's but it could be valuable when they will test your motivation to apply for that specific location.
