Hello PrepMaster, your tutorial on Ecosystem was top notch. I love your strategy, with it, one doesn't need any excel solver. 1. Pick your location first using one of the producers. 2. Pick producers that have similar characters (elevation,) to the location you have selected. It would be 3 in total l. 3. Then open animals who shared similar characters (elevation) with the selected location, it would be ten in total. 4.Look for animals that feed on the 3 producers. The animals could be like 4. Mind you these animals are selected from the one you have opened. 5. Lastly, look for two animals that feed on the previous four you have selected. It very easy given the strategy the guy taught in this video. However, Red Rock was tough, I couldn't even do the second part of the red rock. Even the first part's answers were not correct 😢

Hello. From your experience, will the case interview sessions be any different say if one is applying for an expert consultant role in a particular industry + the candidate has no consulting experience at all prior to this. Also, any tips/guidelines for such candidates with no prior consulting background but with years of experience in particular industry/sector. Thank you

There is an error in 16:49 about supply and demand If the demand for raw materiales declines while the supply remains constant, the price of the good or service is likely to decrease. Here’s a breakdown of the economic reasoning: 1. Decrease in Demand: When fewer people want to buy the good or service at the existing price, the demand curve shifts to the left. 2. Constant Supply: Since the supply remains unchanged, suppliers will still be offering the same quantity of the good or service. 3. Excess Supply: With reduced demand, there will be a surplus of the good or service at the original price. 4. Price Adjustment: To clear this surplus, suppliers will typically lower their prices to attract more buyers, leading to a decrease in the market price. Therefore, when demand declines and supply is constant, the price generally falls.
@kevinastuhuaman8 күн бұрын
Let me know if BOTH are valid hypothesis: 1. With a decreasing demand and a constant supply we could see a decrease in the price of raw materials. Thus, we will be DECREASING variable costs 1. With a decreasing demand we wouldn't be able to leverage economies of scale, potentially resulting in an increase in per-unit costs. Thus, we will be INCREASING variable costs

When looking at Exhibit 2, could it not be a possibility that the client's increase in price is what was driving the decrease in sales? I know eventually we are told that the decrease in sales is more due to external factors, but why did the candidate not consider that possibility? That it was poor pricing strategy which led to decreased sales? (ie. they priced it too high)

to validate the estimations discussed in the first part, a public health based approach would be to look up the crude birth rate (cbr) and scale it to the population of london. with a cbr of 10 across the UK for 2022, assuming that the cbr of london is identical to that of the UK, this would yield a total of 80k successful pregnancies per annum. very close!!

Hi! Great Video! Just had a question in the ecosystem game when we start building the food chain, here once you add the first layer of animals and form a sustainable food chain up till that layer and then proceed to add the turtle layer on top and then you check independently just that when the turtle eats does its food source die or not. But shouldn't we check for the entire food chain starting from those species with the highest calories provided and then proceed sequentially to check the sustainability of the food chain? Edit : I know that it works out perfectly in this example, but will it always work out ?

First, McKinsey gives all the info in the prompt, their prompts are giant … the only representative cases of the real interview are the cases on their website… he asked a lot of “clarifying” questions in the beginning that are not for clarification… clarifying questions should be brief to clarify a term, capture a missed number etc… not to uncover hidden information or start solving the case in the clarifying questions! The interviewer won’t let you go that far with the clarification questions! Second, this is definitely a vague structure and not tailored to the case… you cannot call hospital patients , customers! They are patients… competition is comparable hospitals and labs… I would Substitute risks with benefits to the patients and to the hospital and should add cost comparisons for in house vs out of house (using third party!) under financials …

Question, at first you said since Blue Jellyfish eats Red Moss and Sea lettuce, we have to assume it eats equally from both, so 1500 each. Why when you are analyzing what Sea urchin will eat, which eats Sea Fan and Sea lettuce, you just take all the calories it needs from one source (Sea Fan) and not considering it taking the 775 calories left from the Sea Lettuce also? Why it is eating the 3000 straight from the Sea Fan? Thanks @prepmatter

Great video! Quick question... On a case like this, would it not have been beneficial asking a clarifying question regarding whether or not we are the only firm in the industry experiencing declining profits? I feel like that would have saved some time that would be better spent during the case. Then for example if the answer was "no, all other cement firms within the area are experiencing declining profits", how would the root cause analysis bucket change? Would you still communicate the quantitative causes with more of an emphasis on the qualitative causes? Thanks so much!
@Prepmatter2 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question! We recommend not asking this question at the beginning of the interview. Most interviewers prefer that candidates delve deeper into the financials later in the discussion. It is generally good practice to start by internally understanding the root cause of the problem before inquiring whether it is specific to our client or a market-wide issue.
