Hi everybody,
my question might appear quite banal but I hope you will find it more valuable that what it looks like. When I start working on a case I like asking, at the very beginning, basic information such as market, competitors, company... I do this because I like to have a clear picture of the background info, no matter what framework would best fit the very case I`m working on.
So, for example, the interviewer says that "revenues dropped". Oh yeah thats a rev/cost case. Let me ask to decompose revenues and to compare them with last year`s ones. Before doing this I prefer to take a big breath, take some distance from what looks like being the "best" framework to use, and ask some general information to understand better what`s going on. Of course, I would try to be fast and not to get lost into details - to go back quite quickly to the main framework.
Would that be considered acceptable? Or better to directly dig deep into THE framework and ask relevant questions while using it?
thanks
thanks Francesco. I agree with you that its OK to ask more questions before getting into the framework - given that you explain why are you asking those questions.
