Hi Everyone - I've extensive experience in niche consulting (People in M&A) for the past 10 or so years. Given the rinse & repeat (with very few new solutions unfortunately) - I'm now gearing to move to Strategy. I've not prepped for cases before and my experience gives me deep knowledge (not detailed on industry but rather function).
So I've a few questions -
1 - Timing - I'm thinking of taking 6-8 weeks of hard preparation here - any comments?
2 - Case Prep - First there are a lot of (a LOT) of resources out there. I'm trying to narrow down my focus. I've begun with Victor Cheng's and I'm thinking of following it with another online prep. Which ones in your experience have been the most well rounded to prep?
3 - Business fundamentals - What is the best way to prep on business fundamentals - reality is that more will be expected of me and I was wondering how I can prep here? Should I stick to M&A and just deep dive on that or add a few fundamental courses to my preparation.
Any suggestions here would be deeply and profoundly appreciated. Thanks in advance
