Case Study Questions

Our case study questions take the form of market-sizing questions.

• Take a moment to digest the information.​
• Ask clarifying questions throughout. The interviewer wants to see your thought process and will prompt you when asked. Try to avoid long periods of silence. ​
• Begin by breaking down the problem into the fundamental components. Segmenting the question and checking assumptions will create a structured process for finding an answer.​
• Think about what you are trying to show with your answer and provide reasoning behind each estimation. Answers do not need to be correct, but they are required to be justified.
