Consulting case interview frameworks. Why you REALLY need them?

Ritika learns why she really needs a framework in a case interview. What are the reasons beyond the obvious.

Consulting case interview frameworks are a method for approaching business problems using a defined structure. Such structure is expected to follow specific rules such as MECE. A candidate also expected to be sharp at prioritizing which areas to focus on. The structure of a framework allows a candidate to break down a problem into its fundamental pieces, analyze it and come up with a recommendation.

After going through TCO V Ritika received an offer from McKinsey Chicago.

Ritika Mohan is a University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
M.S. & Ph.D., and University of Arizona, Tucson BS graduate who we trained to join MBB Midwestern USA.

In The Consulting Offer watch former McKinsey et al senior partners mentor real candidates into the most elite consulting firms. Across 5 seasons, the program has never failed to place a participant.

WHAT IS IT: The Consulting Offer is a groundbreaking case interview training program using REAL participants. All training is done by ex-McKinsey, BCG et al partners using the techniques we developed in our 1-on-1 coaching programs where we have an 80% placement rate. Subscribers can watch video recordings of the candidates being trained for McKinsey, BCG and Bain case interviews. The show is now in its 6th season with all seasons available for streaming.

WHAT WE DID: Across 6 seasons, 7 years and counting, we brought together 16 candidates from 12 schools and 8 countries (USA, Morocco, Russia, France, Armenia, China, Canada and India) to train them primarily for US offices. The TCO program runs every year with new participants.

Experienced Hire Case Interview Program

TCO contains the video training footage as we prepare participants for case interviews with McKinsey, Bain and BCG in New York, New Jersey, Munich, Hamburg, Paris, Perth, Johannesburg, Boston, Atlanta, Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai, Moscow, London and Chicago etc.

HOW SUCCESSFUL IS TCO: TCO alumni are very successful by every objective measure. In every season we have placed participants in McKinsey, Bain or BCG and we have placed all participants in management consulting when other good firms like Deloitte S&O are included. All MBB-placed TCO participants are still with the firms, and one is a principal having joined as a consultant. Only one participant has left McKinsey to join another firm where she is on a partnership track.

This video highlights the importance of the opinion of the client, of the consultants ability to discover the right solution(s) based on the framework.

This should be a quotable quote: "The interviewer can only judge based on the structure you present"

To be honest I always thought a framework is a must to solve a Client Problem or Any Problem. I would like to add i one more reason why we need a framework is we can stay focus on the core Problem or roots of the problem. "The interviewer will judge us based on the structure we present" This is one point we need to keep in mind
