my favorite ever recorded mock interview
@jaapvandijk5550
Prepping for a BCG interview this was an excellent and easy to watch case study, which not only walked through all the key steps pertinent to the interview process but also displayed what the spirit and demeanor of the candidate should be. It really helped me get ready. Thanks guys!
@superman0391
this case interview is more practical and sick. unlike other case interview sites, this one is more client-consultant form of Q&A, analyzing and synthesizing. well done guys!

I currently work in Sales and I'm thinking about doing an MBA and using that to move into Management Consulting. Glad to know consulting is similar in its overall concept to the work I do now. This video was really helpful. Thanks

Don’t remember learning and laughing this much ever in my life, great video!

Great analysis! What came to mind though were why gangsters would own ice cream parlors.The logical explanation would be that they were washing their money through that business. The question then becomes, is there a need for exponential growth for the parlors as well in order to keep the laundering of money at a stable rate? What would be the need for expansion and growth if there were no way for the money to "come out the other side clean" so to speak. Given this, there are of course calculations to be made for further analysis but would love to get your take on this!

I'm preparing for a Capitol One style interview and they interview all of their analysts & software developers this way. This is the most helpful so far! Thanks
@luminy85
you are great guys, very interesting case, funny, catchy, informative, and not pretentious. I have been watching many case interviews and I find all answers are very pretentious but also very simplistic thinking to solve a problem, more like economics for a 10 year old child
@andrewjang
The 20% growth is only in Chicago, a better question to ask would be whether the market in Newark has the same growth rate.. if not, you'd be on the losing end of the investment if the ROI is decreasing...

The very best case vedio, very subtle

Amazing case interview. Thanks for the content

Thanks! I followed the excercise with a pen and a paper and really helped me.

You both make this look easy man, but the difficult part sometimes is to be able to feel comfortable in front of somebody with poker face, l prefer if client makes faces or agree but a poker face is difficult to read on something that might be too subjective. 1. I would combine ice cream with alcohol :) , offer special ice cream at special cost . 2. Then of course loans for the casino giving out some upfront credit maybe? lol 3. Instead of 4 businesses reduce costs to manage onlyo 2 businesses, food and gamble with loans. Maybe creating a strategy, in which house always wins, like supermartingale of some sort for the casino, having a portfolio of debt from people as an asset for more loans, cut losses and expand icecream booz business. That'd be my crazy hypothesis :) awesome guys, thanks

we could get into some tax evasion and pay a part of it to IRS officers to keep them off our way. come on, we are already gangsters.
@onedirectionlover317
Thanks for the explanations! I was actually honestly quite confused about the chart (size of the bubbles and their relationship to the x and y axes, the meaning of the alcohol bubble being bigger than the $10 million Chicago market size bubble, etc.), so I would not have been able to pick up on that insight because of the confusion. What's the best way to ask questions for understanding, and how much are you allowed to question the interviewer on the chart to understand it before you start looking bad?
@MrIkpe
Lol "Dirty Jerz" ... I thoroughly enjoyed this mock interview case study. Good job!
@joenatale5513
I'd like to second the call for clarity on the bubble chart. Is it not that the size of the $10M bubble is the same as the value at which it sits on the x-axis? Does the bottom-right corner bubble not simply set the scale? That's different from saying the reason he has the whole market is because the bubble sizes match... if that were the case, how would you interpret the large bubble at $20M for alcohol? Would also love to see the x-axis labeled with the unit M (Millions).
