Before we look at individual Cases, it is important to begin by looking at analysis frameworks that commonly can be used to address Case Study questions. In this chapter, we will outline some of the core frameworks and some additional Consulting concepts that are important to grasp and will form part of many interviews. The frameworks will be helpful to answer certain types of cases, depending on the type of case. In reality, few case interviews or real-life business situations cover just one concept or business problem, so you have to have the flexibility to apply a range of concepts/structures. For example, a Company bringing a new product to market would require a market size analysis, competitor analysis, as well as understanding the key customer segments.
An important note on this: historically, the vast majority of Consulting candidates have used specific business frameworks to answer cases. Frameworks remain important as concepts to answer Case Studies, but you should absolutely avoid any rigid use of a specific framework. In reality, the main purpose of learning the frameworks is to help you to structure your answers, just as the case situations in our later examples should do.
All consulting interviews are made up of two sections, the fit interview section and the case solving section. The fit interview section usually covers a conversation including questions about your resume, motivations to become a consultant or join a certain firm, strengths, experiences working in teams, and other possible work scenarios. We would suggest candidates book a fit interview practice session with the Office of Career Services at Fletcher for comprehensive training before interviews.
Undoubtedly, consulting jobs are extremely competitive and difficult to land. Like every other skill in the world, case solving requires consistent practice. The following courses and books can help you get started on how to approach and solve cases.
These practice cases are great opportunities for you to go through realistic cases and see how each firm would suggest approaching them. They typically include one or more sample answers to illustrate the thought process they expect to see in a star candidate to take.
Below, we've pulled together links for practice cases from each firm's website, along with the intro to the case itself, so you can quickly read through and decide where you want to focus your efforts.
We recommend taking full advantage of all the practice cases, insiders tips, and prep materials you can get your hands on. Go through as many cases as you can prior to the actual interview, as you will become more comfortable with each attempt.
Once you're familiar with the case interview format, make sure all your ready for all the key components: structuring the case, analyzing data and nailing the mental math. If you need a little extra support, RocketBlocks has you covered with our drills and coaching services.
