1. What is a case interview?
A case interview is an interview during which the interviewee is presented with a hypothetical — often business related — question. The purpose of a case interview is to simulate the type of work consultants do on the job.
It allows the interviewer to see how a candidate thinks and communicates. If a candidate does well, he or she will probably be a good consultant.
If you don’t enjoy solving cases, you will likely not enjoy being a consultant. However, it’s important to note that some individuals see their case performance improve over time, while others have a natural talent for it.
