About the role

A strategy consulting analyst turns broad commercial questions into focused research and analysis. The interview usually tests your structure, mental maths, business judgement and ability to move from evidence to a concise recommendation rather than searching for one predetermined answer.

How to prepare

  1. Practise structuring profitability, market entry and growth cases without overlapping branches.
  2. Work through market-sizing estimates and check units, assumptions and orders of magnitude.
  3. Read business news critically and identify the customer, revenue, cost and competitor implications.
  4. Practise giving a recommendation first, followed by the strongest evidence, risks and next action.
  5. Refresh spreadsheet and presentation skills used to turn analysis into a simple executive message.

Common mistakes

  • Forcing a memorised framework onto a case without adapting it to the question.
  • Performing arithmetic silently without stating assumptions or checking the result.
  • Listing every possible analysis instead of prioritising the decision-critical ones.
  • Ending with a summary of facts rather than a recommendation and next step.
