Agreed on your comment (ex software dev, now management consultant)..

In MC, the delivery of the case is extremely important (how you structure the solution, how you speak, how you present yourself, etc.). Your point on people optimizing is spot on. Some students spend 10-20 hours a week practising before a McKinsey, Bain, BCG interview..

When I'm building cases and interviewing people, I try to structure it around a real life problem we have (e.g. a wood/fiber B2B company wanting to go B2C) which makes it less awkward than solving random algorithms.

However, I'm still not satisfied with the process, so wondering if people have ideas ?

I thought about giving a case to solve at home, but we're missing the part of how an applicant will react with a lot of pressure and in front of clients :/

Hey, cool story! May I ask how you got into MC? How old where you? How long have you been a Software Dev? Did you do an MBA?
