Question about

Time for one trip

Hi,

Thank you for publishing the case. However, it's unclear whether the entire trip takes 10 minutes, or if only the journey to the destination takes 10 minutes (which would make the round trip 20 minutes). Clarifying this would be important, as it directly impacts the revenue stream.

Best wishes,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

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

First of all, thank you for pointing out the ambiguity in the case.
Moreover, I believe the 10 minutes refer to one-way, as it is stated in "I. Background": "The motorbike delivers the passenger to the destination, then drives back empty and waits his turn."
Lastly, if in doubt, I would highly advise you to clarify with the interviewer.

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

A case interview is a type of job interview in which the candidate must analyze and solve a problematic business scenario (“case study”). It is used to simulate the situation on the job and to find out if the respective candidate meets the necessary analytical and communications skills required for the profession. Case interviews are commonly and globally used during the selection processes at management consulting firms such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), or Bain & Company.
