Hi Ashish,

Tt's quite tough to find adequate tech-focused cases.

That's why I created three tech cases :)

https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/interviewer-led-mckinsey-style/advanced/mckinsey-digital-bcg-platinion-oil-gas-upstream-technology-196

https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/candidate-led-usual-style/intermediate/yodaphone-195

https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/candidate-led-usual-style/intermediate/bcg-platinionmck-digitalmonitor-experienced-hire-tech-practice-roma-solutions-240

All of these are based on real-life cases and have a tech-focus.

Please feel free to reach out if you would:

a) Like more technology-based cases

b) Like to be cased in the three above (hint: They don't cover all aspects of those projects...i.e. the cases could take multiple twists and turns and test additional themes when I conduct them)

I also did recruit successfully for PwC Tech practice and worked closely with candidates to get them into Platinion, McK Digital, Monitor, etc., so happy to answer any questions in that area as well!

When it comes to preparing for tech case study interviews for consulting firms, there are several resources that can be helpful to familiarize yourself with the type of cases you may encounter and to practice your problem-solving skills.

One of the best resources is online case interview preparation websites and platforms, such as Case Interview.com, PrepLounge, or Management Consulted. These platforms offer a range of case studies, including tech-specific cases, and provide detailed explanations and feedback on your performance. They often have a community of consultants and peers who can offer insights and support, as well as mock interview opportunities.

Another resource is consulting books, such as "Case In Point" by Marc Cosentino, which offer a comprehensive guide to case study interviews, including tech cases. These books provide step-by-step frameworks for approaching different types of cases and offer practice problems with detailed solutions.

In addition, it can be helpful to research the specific consulting firms you are interviewing with and their areas of expertise in the tech industry. This can help you gain a deeper understanding of the types of tech cases you may encounter, and the specific skills and knowledge that consulting firms are looking for in their candidates.

Finally, it is important to practice your problem-solving skills and to develop a structured approach to tackling case study interviews. This can involve practicing with peers, colleagues, or even experienced consultants, and developing a strong understanding of core business concepts, such as strategy, operations, and finance. By combining these resources with consistent practice and preparation, you can increase your chances of success

Hi there, 

There are actually several such examples on the PrepLouge case library. Use the filtering function to find the tech-related ones easier. 

Thanks,

Cristian
