Introduction to Case Interviews

What is a Case Interview?

A case interview is a real-time business problem-solving exercise used by top consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and others) to evaluate candidates' analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and communication skills. You'll be presented with a business scenario and asked to work through it as if you were a consultant advising a client.

Why Consulting Firms Use Cases

  • Simulates actual consulting work
  • Tests problem-solving under pressure
  • Evaluates structured thinking and communication
  • Assesses business judgment and creativity
  • Reveals how you handle ambiguity
