Lithuanian While there are no set rules on how to solve a case, we have found that some advice can help you succeed.
Listen to the interviewer and ask questions
The interviewer will begin by laying out the problem. You should take time to align your thinking, ask clarifying questions, and communicate your line of reasoning to your interviewer. The interviewer will also give you hints and help along the way, so don’t be afraid to take notes.
Think before speaking
Take some time to organize your ideas; don’t jump too fast to conclusions.
Make quick and accurate calculations
At some point, the interviewer will ask you to make some simple calculations. Rather than testing computational skill, this is meant to see if you can use numbers to quickly form opinions and guide decisions. Your calculations should be accurate and integrated into what you have discovered so far.
Don’t rush into the analysis without developing an understanding of the problem
During the discussion, the interviewer will work with you to organize your thoughts and steer you toward a solution. Don’t be afraid to ask questions that check your understanding.
Don’t internalize your thought process
The interview should be a dialogue between you and the interviewer, so make sure you communicate your logic and underlying assumptions.
Don’t circulate cases or use advance knowledge
One last piece of advice: be yourself and have fun discussing the case. If you find this conversation exciting and entertaining, you’ll likely enjoy being a part of our Client’s company.
