Hi there,

This is a big question. I can assure you that no wrriten response will be sufficient as there's simply too much to cover - as such, I highly recommend you hire a coach!

That said, keep in mind the following:

  1. Remember that most casing tips apply here (i.e. be very clear+focused on the objective, ruthlessly cut out information that doesn't help you meet this objective/question, make sure to thinking + communicate in a structured way, etc. etc.)
  2. Practice/simulate this as much as possible beforehand...getting a coach to help you run through scenarios + how to react in inevitably challenging moments will do a world of good.

I have a number of written case I'd be more than happy to share with you! What I generally do with my candidates is, give them a written case x hours before our scheduled session (adjust # of hours based on the specific interview they're going to have), and then review their work during the session (as well as talk through tips+tricks to get better).

Hey, have a look at this thread for some general tips/tricks: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/written-case-interview-prep-9412

I have recently helped many candidates get offers at Deloitte across various practices. And written case was part of the process for all of them. So feel free to send me a direct message to discuss your preparation.

Hi,
case preparation will be the classical one with 2 additional points to focus on:

  • 80-20 prioritization: quickly navigate an important amount of data to find what really matters to the case resolution;
  • Executive summary: develop 1-2 pages to present that sum up the problem and your recommendations.

I have a couple of well-done written cases, feel free to text me for sharing.

Best,
Antonello
