Strategy& Interviews: Video or Coffee Chat, Case Studies, Fit and Partner

Question

Dear Friends,

I need help to prepare for my PwC Strategy& coming interview, I was not able to find many info online. Please share any materials or if you know how to approach the Strategy& Interviews:

1. Video, Coffee Chat

2. Case Studies, 1st round and 2nd round. They will give me 15 minutes to prepare, so it's not like classical case interview?

3. Fit and

4. Partner

How to approach the preparation and interviews themselves?, please help!

Thanks a lot friends

Hi Amir,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

It seems that you require comprehensive help with the Strategy& interview process. As such, I would advise you to seek the guidance of a coach to help you get started and prepare for the different components of the process.
Moreover, please be advised that the recruiting process with Strategy& is not significantly different from that of other strategy consulting firms. Therefore, the same general principles and preparation strategies apply.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

So….you need help in everything.

I highly highly recommend a coach to guide you here. Going it alone with a short timeline when you're starting at zero is going to be very hard.
