New York, NYPosted Nov 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Consultant role using a case-and-fit format that felt competency-driven, with interviewers generally concerned with how I reason rather than perfect “case mechanics.”

Round 1 (1 case + behavioral) — one case plus a behavioral conversation, with questions centered on clearly understood real-world problems.

Super-day format (round 2) — a busy day with multiple case interviews, plus a CV/fit interview and a more realistic, presentation-style component.
Expectation for authentic consulting thinking — I was implicitly tested on structuring and communicating my approach while staying grounded in practical assumptions. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer; the takeaway was that staying focused on reasoning clarity and real consulting trade-offs mattered more than sounding technical.
