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
- Practise structuring profitability, market entry and growth cases without overlapping branches.
- Work through market-sizing estimates and check units, assumptions and orders of magnitude.
- Read business news critically and identify the customer, revenue, cost and competitor implications.
- Practise giving a recommendation first, followed by the strongest evidence, risks and next action.
- 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.
