Hi there,
I've coached lots of candidates for ME (about a third of my candidates apply in the region) and the cases have been just like everywhere else - basically, from any industry / topic. If anything, it's slightly more likely to come across cases from public sector, but aside from this there should be no changes.
Best,
Cristian

Dear candidate,
Congratulations, which offices are you considering?
A)
For office differences, consider for example latest feedback from candidates and peers here, but important is in particular to network, in terms of cases, be familiar with the economic environment and be able to bring in some of your ideas in interviews.
B) for the cases, please also consider more challenging cases because there is a lot of competition in this region, although it is still considered a growth region overall, with varying seasonality. Practise for general consultant roles a wide set of cases, and learn to truly master them.
Best regards,
Pope

That's because this is the wrong approach…
If you try to predict outcomes, you're drastically increasing your chances of failing.
Case x and y could occur in EYP ME or Deloitte NYC, or both. Please please try not to find “what 5 cases can I expect for EYP ME”…because whatever they were you can gaurentee they won't be again!
Learn how to think like a consultant and solve any case type that comes your way.
That said, EYP leans more in PE/VC and ME leans more energy, O&G, public works/gov, tourism, etc.
Here's some more reading that further expands on the point I'm trying to make:

They are regular case interviews (assuming you are interviewing for the corporate growth role)

Hello,
They are similar in format to interviews elsewhere – just practice general case and fit
