Same here, would be happy to share cases in DM.

I would also like to re-enforce Florian's answer! 
You never know how the 1st option you apply for will work out, therefore it's always good to have a more diverse practice. 

Secondly, despite having specific “styles” per firm, the interview will be conducted by a human, who might have different backgrounds and interview style, so having a spectrum of case types you practice on could serve you well in that situation.

Feel free to reach out for cases or just any questions!

Hi there,

Happy to share some cases in a DM but wanted to make one point:

If you approach case interviews with the perspective of looking into “Firm X-specific cases”, this will usually not go very well. You will build up expectations of how a certain firm's cases look like based on a limited sample, and then struggle during the real interviews when you find out that the actual breadth and depth of cases are much wider.

Rather, you need to learn how to solve any case from any firm. That is the only way to get replicable and robust results in consulting interviews!

All the best,

Florian

Very bluntly, you're thinking about this wrong. Accenture has 1,000 cases. BCG has 1,000 cases. OW has 1,000 cases.

If you took 3 from each and randomized, you would not be able to tell which is from which firm.

If your question is: does anyone have great cases that are well designed to help me learn how to solve cases and test various aspects of cases so as to be ready for anything, my answer would be a resounding yes :)

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your situation:

  • First of all, while seeking Accenture-specific cases can seem like a good strategy, it's important to remember that focusing too narrowly on one firm's style might limit your ability to adapt to different case types. The variety in case interviews is vast, and each one tests different skills and approaches.
  • Moreover, however, I'd be happy to share some case studies in a DM if you want to.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
