I have encountered a few market sizing questions in candidate-led cases in the middle of a profitability issue case or a strategy case (eg. client wanting to enter into new distribution platform) and I noticed that I often take a lot of time to do market sizing to the point where I run out of time to answer the rest of the case. Is there a technique to handle market sizing questions in non-market sizing cases? How much time should I put to answering these questions?
Hi Robert! Thanks for this. Just wanted to clarify what you meant by “clarify the expectations”? Would you mind giving some form of example on how this can be done? Do I outright ask the interviewer how detailed my approach should be?
