Looking for a case interview partner (level: upper beginner - intermediate)

Question

Hi. I have been practicing ~15 cases so far. I am based in Asia (GMT +7). I am applying for MBB in the next 3 months. If you're interested in being my case interview partner, please comment in this question. Thanks!

Answer 1

Duc,

Hope you find great case partners on the platform.

Since you reached out over the Q&A, I wanted to share some advice on the best peer feedback setups I've seen.

Try 6-7 different partners over a period of 1-2 weeks.
Then settle on 1-3 that you found were sharing similar goals and ambitions, prepared the case beforehand and gave structured feedback that gave you clarity on what you do
Then aim to practice with those people for the rest of your case prep - this will help you eliminate friction around scheduling or meeting with unprepared candidates
When identifying these case partners, aim for people who are both less and more experienced than you - this way, you can play both the teacher and the student role and the approaches will help solidify your knowledge

All the best!
Cristian

Answer 2

Hi Duc Minh,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your situation:

First of all, it's nice to see how proactive you are in preparing for your consulting interviews.
Moreover, however, I think it would be even more practical if you were to make a few meetings proposals so that you can find your first peers directly.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

you can search and filter for potential case partner on this platform and then approach them directly. That might be a more targetted way for you to get a higher and more relevant response rate.
