Case Interview Preparation & Management Consulting | Strategy | Critical Thinking

An hour ago I ran a screening call for case coaching with a candidate I will call Hector from Deloitte, let’s assume the Santiago office. The student was at a very élite school, I will call Wharton. This tiny Deloitte office had for the first time offered to pay for an employee’s MBA studies – a huge investment for them. McKinsey was now aggressively trying to recruit the candidate and he was on the brink of pursuing this. I was extremely proud of the way Hector reacted when, upon learning of the source of his funding and obligations, I immediately refused to conduct the screening call because it was not in his best interest. In these moments, we get to see tomorrow’s leaders forged.
