In asnwer to your questions:

1) Primary and Secondary research for consulting teams; creation of internal "white papers" on industry trends; organization of practice area events

2) You will work a lot with project teams (they will assign the work) but in my experience there is no interaction with client. This is mostly a back office role

3) No, you are correct on the focus

4) Can go in cmpetitive intelligence teams of industry's players

Hope this helps,

I would skip casing and focus both on industry knowledge and on how you would go about looking for and collecting data and translate that into insights.

Hope it helps,

Hi,

Sharing a perspective on this:

1. Day to day tasks
   • Support consulting teams research and data gathering
   • Create and manage internal knowledge
2. Client interaction
   • Typically very minimal
   • Sometimes knowledge team is embedded in the client facing team, but they will not have the same level of client interaction as the consulting team
3. Interview process
   • Practice Area specific - but mostly focused on industry knowledge and research skills rather than case interview
4. Exit opportunities
   • Some switch to consulting teams in T2
   • Some switch to corporate strategy in MNCs as well
