Case question for banking (Citi)

Hi peers,

Last month, I was rejected by McKinsey after a long journey (3 interviews in the final round). Then, I've decided to start to looking for new opportunities and I've applied for LATAM New Analysts Program for Citibank.

Now, I'm in the second round of the program which consists in personal interviews + case interview.

I would like to know if this case interview is similiar with management consultant cases.

Has someone already interviewed with Citi for analyst role? Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hello!

Yes indeed, the process is similar.

The good thing is that you can perfectly apply the skills that you have developed (for casing, the math, structuring and top-down communication. For FIT, the prep it´s almost identical).

This also applies for tech! As you can see, doing consulting interview prep properly is something that can be useful is so many moments down the road.

Good luck with Citi!

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

From the candidates I've supported the citibank cases are similar, but of course not identical!

Feel free to reach out for help - I can support you based on my prior candidate's experiences.
