Great to see you guys leveraging this platform (apart from your b-school consulting clubs) to find partners and crack cases. While you get into the intense prep, do take care of the following:

- Get your basics/knowledge base right. Core subjects in grad school/MBA need to be thoroughly understood

- Do not neglect FIT part, work on it and practice it during your networking conversations with consultants/ case cracking practice sessions

- Practice case cracking - At least 50 before you interview with any company

- Ensure case diversity while practicing. Let the issues come from different sectors, fucntions, geographies. Few strat, few ops, few finance, few marketing; similarly few interviewer led, few interiewee led etc.

- Periodically ( thumb rule : after every 8th case ) practice will a consultant or ex-consultant. Cases cracked with batchmates do not give you a true indication of your improvement curve

- Most importantly; see if you are enjoying these practice sessions. If you are not,  probably you might not enjoy the consulting role. 

All the best!

Originally answered question: McKinsey, Bain and BCG coming interviews

I've got my McKinsey interviews coming up in 9 days (eek!) and I desperately need someone to practice cases with! Preferably in German since I'll be doing the assessment centre in Munich - first German interviews I've ever done, so I'm nervous about that. 

But English is just fine, so drop me an inbox. I'm flexible with times!

Hi! I'm not sure if you will check this, but I'm also a native English speaker looking to apply to consulting firms here in Germany. If you have any insight or advice I'd love the chance to ask you a question or two!

Hello,

I am a strategy consultant, working in a small boutique in France. I ahve just joined the community of proplounge. I am interested to practice cases as I am planning to apply for consulting companies in the Middle East. I am very familiar with the process, I have done several cases and gave several ones to case partners an also to candidates applying to my company. 

Let me know if you're interested. We can start beginning of the week.

Best,

Sofiane

Let me know if you are interested ( Skype ID : Afifgh1)

P.S : I am currently an OW consultant and an ex- Deliotte consultant.
