I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

French ITW - BCG/McK

Hello everyone,

I am adressing this message to the French members. I would like to practice on cases that have been given in Paris for real interviews at consulting firm's offices. Do you know where I can find such resources ? Does any of you has already passed interviews and would like to share its case's experience ?

Thank you very much

JS

JS,

No responses so far, so I'll chime in. I strongly caution you against preparing this way: cracking a case is a very repeatable process, so if you know how to crack a case today, we can pretty much guarantee you'll crack the one tomorrow and the day after.

If however you start learning to the test (prepare a specific case), you run the risks of (1) not getting the same case you prepared on, or worse, (2) getting a case that LOOKS like what you've prepared but actually different. And here, I don't think you will like the result.

In any case, the answer to a case is not necessarily as important as the way you got to it -> there is no shortcut.

My strong recommendation is for you to take on a variety of cases and learn how to crack them. That will serve you well, both in the actual BCG/McK interviews and in the (real) corporate world outside of consulting.

Good luck

G.
