S25E1: Mini Case Interviews at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG Explained
Send us Fan Mail Mini case interviews are often the first test you face at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. And if you’ve heard them called market sizing questions, you’ve already met the most common version. But a mini case interview plays by different rules than a full case, and the interviewer isn’t going to guide you through it. Namaan breaks down what to expect, how mini cases are scored, and how to finish one the right way. Resources: Want to know how you’d handle a mini case under time pressur...

S24E30: Why US Case Interview Prep Fails in European Consulting Interviews
Send us Fan Mail Most case interview prep is written for US interviews. If you’re recruiting for a European office, you’ll walk into a different interview than the one you practiced. Laura Ackerman worked at McKinsey and BCG and has coached European candidates for 4 years. She breaks down where US prep falls short in European consulting interviews: the case formats, the case topics, and how conversational the fit interview gets. And she shares how one client with a diplomacy background landed...

S24E29: Bain Interviews Have Different Rules – Here’s How to Prep
Send us Fan Mail Bain interviews have different rules, and Abi Chen spent 6 years at the firm learning them from the inside. As a former Bain manager and now an MC coach, she interviewed candidates and helped decide who got an invite. So she knows where strong candidates lose ground. In this episode, she walks through 4 of those mistakes – and what to do instead so you can get your offer. Resources: Practicing cases but can’t tell what’s holding you back?

S24E28: Top 10 Healthcare Consulting Firms and Who Leads Each Segment
Send us Fan Mail Almost every large consulting firm has a healthcare practice. Far fewer have a healthcare position. In this episode of The Briefing, Namaan breaks down our 2027 healthcare consulting research. The big finding is that healthcare consulting splits into two sides, care delivery and life sciences, and a firm that’s excellent at one is often absent from the other. So the question for any practice leader is which side your firm has built a position on. McKinsey, BCG, and Bain take ...

S24E27: Busted: The Online Assessment Isn't the Hardest Part of Recruiting
Send us Fan Mail "I need to start prepping for the online assessment now, because it's the hardest part of getting an interview." Katie hears some version of this on her calls all the time, and it's easy to see why. The test can feel like a weird game you have no way to practice for, and it's the first thing standing between your application and an interview. So in our first episode of Case Busters, Katie puts it to the test. Should you really be grinding practice tests months before you appl...

S24E26: The 3-Part Case Interview Closing That Can Rescue Your Score
Send us Fan Mail In most cases, your interviewer already knows how they'll score you by the time you reach the closing. But when it's a close one, the closing is the tiebreaker, and it can rescue your score. Namaan breaks down the 3 parts of a closing that works: the recap, the recommendation, and the risks and next steps. Practice it in every case, so the closing is ready to rescue your score when you need it. Resources: Start my free Case Foundations course – it covers all 5 core components...

S24E25: Ex-Deloitte and Bain Coach: Big 4 Interview Formats You Haven't Practiced
Send us Fan Mail Big 4 interviews are around the corner – and most candidates need 6–8 weeks of prep to be ready. Mitali Jalan spent years at Deloitte and Bain, then coached 400+ candidates. She sees one gap sink strong applicants again and again: they practice 1-on-1 cases and never practice the other formats the Big 4 use. Think group cases, written cases, presentations, and AI-assisted or Excel cases. And behavioral prep matters just as much – at some firms, it carries equal weight to...
