Alle Fragen zum Tag strategy& ME - Consulting Q&A - PrepLounge.com

Hello!

Honestly, I would be surprised, since usually you get a written case only once per process.

However, this is the typical question that HR should help you with.

For written cases: remember that the skillset tested is the same than in the "usual" cases, hence, all the practice you may have done totally plays in your favor.

One important point to add is the need to be very 80-20, structured and to the point, since the prep time is very short, so we need discipline with the analysis to have enaugh time to prep the communication strategy.

There are many many entries in thsi same Q&A regarding written cases, hence, I would recommend you to look with the keywords "written case"

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hey,

I agree with Henning's answer completely.

You must be 100% comfortable with the choice. Its your choice & career. Its good to get inputs and advice from various sources for sure.

I also always advice people to go for that option which is a better fit to your values, career aspirations and risk apetite. Choose that which will allow you to do your best and be joyful. Dont get into something for the wrong reasons- money, peer pressure, impatience. Focus on giving your best and let things happen.

As with every situation/event/choice in life, nothing will be perfect. Be mindful of this and work accordingly. Regardless of which job you take, there will be ups and downs and you cannot make that perfect choice as there will always be something a little better. So remove this pressure.

Overall, S& and ATK are both good places to work and will give decent exit opportunities. While they dont have the same level of pull as MBB, if you work a bit harder on your story and networking, landing a good exit option will be no problem. But before you get there, make sure you do well on the job, learn a lot, make a real diference at client & uplift life of people around you!

Good Luck!

Its high likely market sizing questions will come up, but the reason why is they want to test you can think like a strategist (note not a consultant, the point here is you don't need to know the content but can approach any problem through clarity of thought)

What would make you look like a start candidate to them would be:

• Clear ability to apply first-principles thinking
• Logical approaches to abstract concepts or questions
• Strong quantitative skills incl. mental maths

If I was in your shoes, my suggestion would be to spend time doing not just market sizing, but abstract estimation questions along with mental math.

Taking the above into account, really think through fit and how to demonstrate it. It is a particular brand of strategy consulting.

Regarding why consulting, this is such a common and well-answered question that are many answers you can give. The important thing will be for you to do some introspection to come up with some real reasons for why consulting. Hopefully, this is already clear to you given you are applying, there must be a particular draw! Its hard for others to come in and answer this question for you as it depends on your personal interests and fit. It may come down to the variety of work, an intellectually-driven culture, exposure to various industries, learning to think strategically about business etc.

Hi, I confirm Glassdoor is the most updated resources on the internet about it
