Hello everyone,
How do I find the right balance between driving a case forward through going ahead with making estimations/assumptions as compared to simply asking for the data I would need to verify a hypothesis? My tendency at the moment is to do the latter (habit from Victor Cheng LOMS: "do we have any data on that?") to save time but it might make me seem "lazy" and less willing to drive the case forward myself.
Example (go-to-market strategy):
1st hypothesis I want to confirm is: is this an attractive market in terms of size and growth? I could then proceed to simply ask the interviewer "do we have data regarding the market size and growth forecasts?" or I could proceed with "I would like to proceed with estimating the market size." and draw the estimation structure and make assumptions.
