4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Your resume can only get you an interview. Beyond that, I guess everyone is on an equal footing. I believe that once shortlisted for a consulting interview, your CGPA and/or extracurricular achievements don’t matter so much that it can make your selection.
Tips: Made a good resume (after dozens of iterations).
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: I solved in 20 mins, all the while explaining to interviewer my thought process.
My 2nd, 3rd and 4th round of case interviewers did not spend any time on 'chit chat' and went on directly to give me a case.
Tips: I believe what they were looking for was confidence, clarity of thought process, logical deduction at every stage of problem solving and poise, if and when you go wrong and realize your mistake. Case interviews are a simulated work environment; the interviewers will treat your performance as a proxy of how you would do in everyday consulting work. This includes checking for 'fit' or likeability.
There was not much time spent on discussing my resume and/or HR questions, so I should have been selected because I did the case studies well. However, please do not consider this as a reason to not bother about your resume at all. Consult interviewers may pick up any point/word on the resume and you do not want to be in a situation where you can’t explain/talk enough about what is asked. I had spent considerable time preparing for everything on my resume.
General Tips: 1. Made a good resume (after dozens of iterations) and knew it well
2. Prepared for HR questions, rather than just looking up answers online
3. Practiced GDs, did mock interviews as frequently as possible
4. Revised quant
5. Current affairs. And by that, I don’t mean just knowing what is going on, but having an opinion about all sorts of issues
6. Didn’t spend too much time after one particular sector/company. And got to know every company/sector's style of interviewing from seniors who are placed there. Attended all placement talks to understand what each company is looking for.
Skill Tips: It is necessary to understand the consulting interview process well, as there are specific traits which firms are looking for in future consultants and which they will definitely test through case interviews. I did so by practicing cases with friends and seniors working in consulting
Skills: case studies
College Name: IIT MADRAS
Funny Moments: I should have prepared core subjects, even though I was not too enthu about joining a core company. I interviewed with ITC, but did badly in the technical round and wasn’t called for a 2nd round of interview. Fortunately, things went well for me in the end so it did not matter.
