How to Answer the Consulting Case Interview Question
Description
Episode 21 of Interview Prep with Fexingo dives into the consulting case interview. Lucas and Luna break down a real retail profitability case, showing how to structure your thinking, ask the right clarifying questions, and communicate your hypothesis under time pressure. You'll learn the three-part framework that top consulting firms look for: issue trees, hypothesis-driven reasoning, and synthesis. Lucas shares a specific example from a BCG interview he once heard about, walking through how to calculate a store's profit decline and recommend a fix. Luna challenges whether frameworks can feel too rigid, and Lucas explains how to flex them naturally. If you're targeting McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or any strategy role, this episode gives you a concrete, repeatable approach.
