Case Interview + Market Sizing Overview

A case interview is where candidates are presented with a business problem or scenario and are asked to analyze it, develop recommendations, and present their findings to the interviewer. These interviews assess a candidate's problem-solving skills, analytical abilities, and communication skills.

Market sizing is a technique often employed in case interviews where candidates are asked to estimate the size of a particular market or segment. This involves breaking down the market into its relevant components, making assumptions, and using logical reasoning to arrive at a reasonable estimate. Market sizing helps candidates demonstrate their quantitative skills and ability to think critically about business opportunities.

Approaching a Case Interview

Making sure that you approach the case in a structured way and that your interviewer can understand each step of your thought process is very important. This is how we would suggest structuring and going about a case.

Understand the Case: Carefully listen and comprehend the case prompt, making note of important details, objectives, and any provided data.

Clarify the Objective: If anything is unclear, ask clarifying questions to ensure you fully understand the problem you're solving.

Structure Your Approach: Outline a structured framework for analyzing the problem. This could involve breaking down the problem into its key components and identifying potential solutions.

Analyze Methodically: Apply your framework to analyze the case, using both qualitative and quantitative methods as appropriate. Make logical assumptions and use data (if provided) to support your analysis.

Think Creatively: Don't hesitate to think outside the box and consider alternative perspectives or solutions.

Communicate Clearly: Articulate your thought process clearly and concisely to the interviewer, explaining your rationale behind each step of your analysis.

Be Flexible: Be prepared to adapt your approach based on any new information provided or insights gained during the interview.

Practice, Practice, Practice: Practice case interviews regularly to improve your problem-solving skills, time management, and ability to communicate effectively under pressure.
