Great video idea Christine. I would love to be able to talk with you about career advice and why not do a mock interview. I'm a business student who is interested in tech & consulting. So I'm considering doing some tech studies. But my tech experience and knowledge is limited to what I could learn on the internet on the side. I think it would be a very informative experience to do a mock interview or just get a talk with someone with experience. My case seems pretty common, and I think some of my questions should be able to help others out.

Hey Christine, I tackled the interactive case prior to finding this video and your channel and I have to say, this is AWESOME content. I was able to see what I could've improved on outside of the "good/great answers" the interactive case suggested. I personally loved that you provided consistent feedback throughout the interview that allowed him to grow within such a short period of time. I am coming up on my second round (case interview) for a cloud strategy internship at Deloitte. My interview is (virtual) on Tuesday, October 4th. I would love the opportunity to tackle a case with you for your channel. I just submitted my application, I would love to be a part of this channel regardless of whether or not we can meet prior to my interview.

Hi Christine, thank you for sharing this! Also, should you explicitely tell your interviewer what framework(s) you plan on using or do you just use it?

@ChristineWong 2 года назад

I would not because sometimes the interviewers don’t even know. It’s not like they practice frameworks all the time while working because to be honest we don’t do frameworks on a day to day, it’s just a good way to organize your thoughts in a logical way.

There’s no one size fits all framework so you can loosely apply one. A very popular one is people, process, and technology. Almost all cases should cover those elements so that was loosely used here.

@shababhuq7621 2 года назад

In the actual interview at deloitte do they give you the description like in this video or do they just read it out

@ChristineWong 2 года назад

A lot of my clients have had it read out to you. It’s listening. Accenture had a written one given in person back then before the pandemic. It does differ based off of the situation with Covid.

@abs33.Z 2 года назад

Would you recommend writing notes/key points when you’re first asked to read the case text? Or would you just read it all at once to absorb the information?

@ChristineWong 2 года назад

I would be reading and annotating on the side at the same time! Either underlining or circling text that look important or writing comments with arrows for callouts! That’s what I did. That is considered “actively reading.”

@ChristineWong 2 года назад

Then you can make an outline or plan after!

@abs33.Z 2 года назад

Great, thank you! One other question, what type of data would you be required to analyse in tech cases? I’ve been told I’d be required to do so in my Accenture case.

@ChristineWong 2 года назад

@@abs33.Zare you going in as an experienced hire? It could be specific to your role. If you’re going in as entry level, don’t worry about it because the data provided will be pretty simple and does not require background knowledge to a specific tech. It would be data that would test how you would handle that situation to what you current know or don’t know!

@abs33.Z 2 года назад

Hey, thanks for your advice and the videos! I landed a tech strategy role at Accenture in London

@PacManPark Год назад

I found some of your explanations to be a little confusing. For example, why wouldn't a "high turn-over rate" be something to focus on? It hits the People aspect of PPT, and wasn't it listed under key considerations? Isn't there an imbalance if you create a consolidated tech solution but there is still a high turn over rate? Furthermore, understanding why employees are quitting could help you understand the pain points of the current tech and processes. @17:52 Also, aren't contingencies and risks in reference to the potential solution? Not the old technology?

@ChristineWong Год назад

It can, but we can’t fix the high turnover rate as technology consultants, it’s just a consideration. That’s more of the realm of a management, strategy, or HR consultant. In terms of understanding why employees quit, that is one approach you can take it, but overall, there is a very fine line between being focused on the prompt and learning which key considerations have a bigger impact on the solution vs. focusing a little too much on one singular key consideration when the big picture needs to be considered. Everyone can technically approach the case however they want it as long as it makes logically sense and the interviewer thinks it’s a good response/flow.

@ChristineWong Год назад

Most times, these cases are designed to not give you enough time to finish reading and responding to the case so you kind of have to discern what is really important and what is not as important (but still important). If the priority is on consolidation and streamlined tech because pros outweigh the cons, you can have risk mitigation for the turnover rate and the impact that has on the project.

@ChristineWong Год назад

I’m also not perfect either, so if you feel strongly about certain elements, make sure to stick with your guns and support it with data and evidence in your case when you interview! If everyone approached cases the same, no one would hire consultants then if we’re all the same.

@PacManPark Год назад

@@ChristineWong Thanks for your response. I'm not trying to be argumentative but genuinely trying to understand this. One quick follow up question. What do you mean by requirements in the second question? Are you referring to "Software systems, data structures, new developments"?
