Hi guys,
do you have any experiencs with the PWC assesment center day? I got a invitation for the Technology Consulting day (Frankfurt) and in these process I also have to work out a case...I thoughtt maybe someone of could help me. I never planned to work in a consultancy and I really wonder me that they invited me. However it will be a good experience. I just registered today for the prep lounge online but I am feeling a bit lost with all this cases here... No idea what to practice or how...
Hi Anonymous,
as additional points from a previous post, you can find below a list of the areas you would have to focus on to land an offer:
Starting from zero, it is likely this will take 150-200 hours.
As for potential steps to learn the previous points, I would proceed as follows:

Hi there,
I would recommend you to start reading the bootcamp material in the resources section. Then I would look at a case question and especially practice the start of it since structuring the case at the beginning is most important. You can filter the cases in the resources section by difficulty.
Afer you have done that, or maybe in the meantime, do case interviews. Go to the dashboard section and propose meetings or enter existing meetings to practice different kind of cases. Maybe you can also concentrate (depending on how much time you have left) on specific types of cases. Here you should look at interview review pages (e.g. Glassdoor, squeaker...) to see if PWC focuses on e.g. Pricing, M&A.
However, depending on the time left, I would concentrate on the start (structuring) and the end (giving recommendation) of a case. Besides the cases prepare answers to common questions like "Why PWC" and "Why Consulting" (...).
Good luck with your preparation and your assessment center!
