It is my understanding they are very different from Management Consulting case studies (for which there are lots of resources). Any thoughts on where to begin in terms of preparation or finding good examples to review would be great
Hello!
Overall, careful with frameworks.
Don´t ban them either, since they have huge utility at the beggining, when you are starting.
however, they are only that, the starting point. The summary were you see some or most of the key topics that are going to build your skillset.
From then, and once your toolbox is ready, you start pulling tools to fix cases in a very tailored way
Hope it helps!

Hi there,
I would have loved to have those resources as well when I interviewed in Econ Consulting ;)

To prepare for interviews you will mainly need to brush up:
Questions are firm-dependent, but as general examples, some questions you may get are:
If you are specifically interested in this field and want to invest in education for it long term, the following is a very good master (I did it and can provide more info – PM if needed):

Thank you so much for this ! Interestingly I have an offer to study at Barcelona GSE but will be studying the masters in Economics - I am certainly hoping to take some competition or industrial organisation modules in September!
Hi there,
Unfortunately this isn't quite the right platform for this :/ I think reddit, LinkedIn, and Google are your best bets to start.
Good luck!
I think my question is perhaps seems more specific than I intended when using the term 'framework'. I am really just looking for some thoughts on how to approach Econ consulting case studies in general but is this still not the correct platform to ask about this ?
Thank you Clara! this really helped me with thinking a bit more about structure even though I know economic consulting interviews might be somewhat different than strategy consulting ones
