I've heard that nowadays, the case interview contents have become much more “localized”, as MBB are working on more and more projects for local firms instead of global Fortune 500 firms.
As I am planning to apply to an overseas office (emerging country), one of the challenge I foresee is that the interviewer may think that I do not understand about the local business environment and lacks local business insight.
This seems a bit tricky because people say that MBB are highly internationalized, and in case interviews you are not supposed to know industry specifics.
My question here is, except using case books mostly from US schools to practice, how can I enhance on my understanding of the business environment of the country I'm applying for? Is this really a big deal that would determine the interview results? Appreciate your suggestions!
